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 FH27 and Canon G7 X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FH27 has external dimensions of 99 x 57 x 28 mm (3.9 x 2.24 x 1.1″) and weighs 152 g (0.34 lb / 5.36 oz) (including batteries). Canon G7 X has external dimensions of 103 x 60 x 40 mm (4.06 x 2.36 x 1.57″) and weighs 304 g (0.67 lb / 10.72 oz) (including batteries).

Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FH27 and Canon G7 X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH27 is significantly lighter (152g ) than the Canon G7 X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 nor Canon PowerShot G7 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 FH27 and Canon G7 X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G7 X 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 FH27 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G7 X.
