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 Kodak S-1 and Canon G9 X II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak S-1 has external dimensions of 116 x 68 x 36 mm (4.55 x 2.69 x 1.4″) and weighs 290 g (0.64 lb / 10.23 oz) (including batteries). Canon G9 X II has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 31 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 1.22″) and weighs 206 g (0.45 lb / 7.27 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak S-1 and the Canon G9 X II. Canon G9 X II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 18mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 5mm thinner than Kodak S-1. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G9 X II has a built-in lens but Kodak S-1 doesn't. Once you put a lens on S-1, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak S-1 and Canon G9 X II.
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 (84g ) than the Kodak S-1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on S-1, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak Pixpro S-1 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
Kodak S-1 and Canon G9 X II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Kodak S-1 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 S-1.
