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 Panasonic G100 and Panasonic G9 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G100 has external dimensions of 116 x 83 x 54 mm (4.57 x 3.27 x 2.13″) and weighs 352 g (0.78 lb / 12.42 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic G9 has external dimensions of 137 x 97 x 92 mm (5.39 x 3.82 x 3.62″) and weighs 658 g (1.45 lb / 23.21 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and the Panasonic G9. Panasonic G100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 21mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 38mm thinner than Panasonic G9.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic G100 and Panasonic G9.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic G100 and Panasonic G9.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G100 is significantly lighter (306g ) than the Panasonic G9 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Panasonic G100 and Panasonic G9 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G9, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the G100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G100 and Panasonic G9's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
