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 Sony H90 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). Sony H90 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 34 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.34″) and weighs 222 g (0.49 lb / 7.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G9 X and the Sony H90. Canon G9 X is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Sony H90.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G9 X and Sony H90.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G9 X and Sony H90.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G9 X is 13g lighter than the Sony H90 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G9 X nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H90 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 Sony H90'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.
