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 Olympus SH-2 and Canon G7 X MIII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SH-2 has external dimensions of 109 x 63 x 42 mm (4.29 x 2.48 x 1.65″) and weighs 271 g (0.60 lb / 9.56 oz) (including batteries). Canon G7 X MIII has external dimensions of 105 x 61 x 41 mm (4.13 x 2.4 x 1.61″) and weighs 304 g (0.67 lb / 10.72 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SH-2 and the Canon G7 X MIII. Canon G7 X MIII is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Olympus SH-2.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SH-2 and Canon G7 X MIII.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SH-2 and Canon G7 X MIII.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SH-2 is 33g lighter than the Canon G7 X MIII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus SH-2 nor Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III 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
Olympus SH-2 and Canon G7 X MIII's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G7 X MIII 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 Olympus SH-2 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G7 X MIII.
