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 Leica X Vario and Canon G5 X MII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica X Vario has external dimensions of 133 x 73 x 95 mm (5.24 x 2.87 x 3.74″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Canon G5 X MII has external dimensions of 111 x 61 x 46 mm (4.37 x 2.4 x 1.81″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X Vario and the Canon G5 X MII. Canon G5 X MII is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 22mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 49mm thinner than Leica X Vario.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica X Vario and Canon G5 X MII.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica X Vario and Canon G5 X MII.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G5 X MII is significantly lighter (340g ) than the Leica X Vario which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica X Vario nor Canon PowerShot G5 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
Leica X Vario and Canon G5 X MII's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G5 X MII 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 Leica X Vario has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X MII.
