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 Casio Exilim EX-FC100 nor Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II 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 G1 X II's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Casio EX-FC100's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon G1 X II LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Casio EX-FC100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X MII.
