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 ZS300 and Canon G5 X MII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS300 has external dimensions of 111 x 66 x 45 mm (4.37 x 2.6 x 1.77″) and weighs 337 g (0.74 lb / 11.89 oz) (including batteries). Canon G5 X MII has external dimensions of 111 x 61 x 46 mm (4.37 x 2.4 x 1.81″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS300 is 3g lighter than the Canon G5 X MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS300 (Lumix DC-TZ300) nor Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II 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 ZS300 and Canon G5 X MII's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G5 X MII 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 Panasonic ZS300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X MII.
