Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 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 Sony RX1'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 Sony RX1 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G7 X MII.
