Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G9 X II is significantly lighter (481g ) than the Fujifilm HS30EXR which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR nor Canon PowerShot G9 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
Fujifilm HS30EXR and Canon G9 X II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm HS30EXR 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 II has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS30EXR.
