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 Ricoh WG-70 and Canon G9 X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh WG-70 has external dimensions of 123 x 62 x 30 mm (4.84 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 193 g (0.43 lb / 6.81 oz) (including batteries). Canon G9 X has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 31 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 1.21″) and weighs 209 g (0.46 lb / 7.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and the Canon G9 X. Canon G9 X is 25mm narrower and 4mm shorter than Ricoh WG-70 but it is also 1mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh WG-70 and Canon G9 X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh WG-70 and Canon G9 X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-70 is 16g lighter than the Canon G9 X but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-70, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the G9 X.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G9 X's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-70's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
