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 G9 X and Canon SX600 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G9 X has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 31 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 1.21″) and weighs 209 g (0.46 lb / 7.37 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX600 HS has external dimensions of 104 x 61 x 26 mm (4.09 x 2.4 x 1.02″) and weighs 188 g (0.41 lb / 6.63 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G9 X and the Canon SX600 HS. Canon G9 X is 6mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Canon SX600 HS but it is also 5mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G9 X and Canon SX600 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G9 X and Canon SX600 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX600 HS is 21g lighter than the Canon G9 X but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G9 X nor Canon PowerShot SX600 HS 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 and Canon SX600 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
