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 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V 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 G9 X II and Sony HX90V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX90V 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 Canon G9 X II has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX90V.
