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 G9 X Mark II nor Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS300 (Lumix DC-TZ300) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon G9 X II and Panasonic ZS300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
