Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G7 X MII is significantly lighter (321g ) than the Leica Q which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II nor Leica Q (Typ 116) 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 G7 X MII and Leica Q's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G7 X MII features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Leica Q has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G7 X MII.
