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 LX100 II and Canon G5 X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LX100 II has external dimensions of 115 x 66 x 64 mm (4.53 x 2.6 x 2.52″) and weighs 392 g (0.86 lb / 13.83 oz) (including batteries). Canon G5 X has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 44 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.73″) and weighs 353 g (0.78 lb / 12.45 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 II and the Canon G5 X. Canon G5 X is 3mm narrower and 20mm thinner than Panasonic LX100 II but it is also 10mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 II and Canon G5 X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LX100 II and Canon G5 X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G5 X is 39g lighter than the Panasonic LX100 II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-LX100 II nor Canon PowerShot G5 X 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
Panasonic LX100 II and Canon G5 X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G5 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. Panasonic LX100 II's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X.
