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 G7 X and Sony ZV-1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G7 X has external dimensions of 103 x 60 x 40 mm (4.06 x 2.36 x 1.57″) and weighs 304 g (0.67 lb / 10.72 oz) (including batteries). Sony ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G7 X and the Sony ZV-1. Canon G7 X is 2mm narrower and 4mm thinner than Canon G7 X but they have the same height of 60mm.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G7 X and Sony ZV-1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G7 X and Sony ZV-1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony ZV-1 is 10g lighter than the Canon G7 X but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G7 X nor Sony ZV-1 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 and Sony ZV-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Canon G7 X features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
