Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G7 X MIII is 36g lighter than the Canon G5 X MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III nor Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
