Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon G5 X and Olympus SP-620 UZ side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G5 X has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 44 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.73″) and weighs 353 g (0.78 lb / 12.45 oz) (including batteries). Olympus SP-620 UZ has external dimensions of 110 x 74 x 74 mm (4.33 x 2.91 x 2.91″) and weighs 435 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G5 X and the Olympus SP-620 UZ. Olympus SP-620 UZ is 2mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Canon G5 X but it is also 30mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G5 X and Olympus SP-620 UZ.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G5 X and Olympus SP-620 UZ.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G5 X is significantly lighter (82g ) than the Olympus SP-620 UZ which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G5 X nor Olympus SP-620 UZ provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G5 X and Olympus SP-620 UZ's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G5 X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Olympus SP-620 UZ's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X.
