Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon L120 is significantly lighter (103g ) than the Canon G1 X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix L120 nor Canon PowerShot G1 X provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon L120 and Canon G1 X's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
On the other hand, Canon G1 X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Nikon L120's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X.
