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 Pentax RZ18 and Canon G9 X II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax RZ18 has external dimensions of 97 x 61 x 33 mm (3.82 x 2.4 x 1.3″) and weighs 178 g (0.39 lb / 6.28 oz) (including batteries). Canon G9 X II has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 31 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 1.22″) and weighs 206 g (0.45 lb / 7.27 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax RZ18 and the Canon G9 X II. Canon G9 X II is 3mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Pentax RZ18 but it is also 1mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax RZ18 and Canon G9 X II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax RZ18 and Canon G9 X II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax RZ18 is 28g lighter than the Canon G9 X II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the RZ18 has a big advantage over the G9 X II which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax RZ18 and Canon G9 X II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
