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 Leica Q-P 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). Leica Q-P has external dimensions of 130 x 80 x 93 mm (5.12 x 3.15 x 3.66″) and weighs 640 g (1.41 lb / 22.58 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G9 X is significantly lighter (431g ) than the Leica Q-P which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G9 X nor Leica Q-P 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 Leica Q-P's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
