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 (92g ) than the Sony RX100 VI which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G9 X nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI 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 RX100 VI's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX100 VI 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 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX100 VI.
