Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Panasonic G9 and Canon 700D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Canon 700D has external dimensions of 133 x 100 x 79 mm (5.24 x 3.94 x 3.11″) and weighs 580 g (1.28 lb / 20.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Panasonic G9 and Canon 700D. Canon 700D is 4mm narrower and 13mm thinner than Panasonic G9 but it is also 3mm taller.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon 700D is 78g lighter than the Panasonic G9 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon 700D has an APS-C sized sensor and Panasonic G9 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic G9's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon 700D lenses.

Weather Sealing
With its weather sealed body, we believe that G9 has a big advantage over 700D which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G9 and Canon 700D's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
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 Selfie shots and video.
Panasonic G9 has a 20.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon 700D has a 18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor.
Another difference between these two cameras is that Panasonic G9's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic G9 and Canon 700D Cameras
As seen above, Canon 700D has a 1.5x Larger sensor area than Panasonic G9. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Canon 700D has an advantage over Panasonic G9 There are 326 lenses for Canon 700D's Canon EF/EF-S mount, on the other hand there are only 107 lenses for Panasonic G9's Micro Four Thirds lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Panasonic G9 has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization (IS) which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. G9's built-in Image stabilization system is effective to compensate vibration up to 6.5-stops according to CIPA standards.112 lenses for Canon EF/EF-S mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
