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 Sony RX10 IV and Canon 7D MII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony RX10 IV has external dimensions of 133 x 94 x 145 mm (5.24 x 3.7 x 5.71″) and weighs 1095 g (2.41 lb / 38.62 oz) (including batteries). Canon 7D MII has external dimensions of 149 x 112 x 78 mm (5.87 x 4.41 x 3.07″) and weighs 910 g (2.01 lb / 32.10 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony RX10 IV and the Canon 7D MII. Sony RX10 IV is 16mm narrower and 18mm shorter than Canon 7D MII but it is also 67mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony RX10 IV has a built-in lens but Canon 7D MII doesn't. Once you put a lens on 7D MII, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony RX10 IV and Canon 7D MII.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony RX10 IV and Canon 7D MII.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon 7D MII is significantly lighter (185g ) than the Sony RX10 IV which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 7D MII, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Both the RX10 IV and the 7D MII have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony RX10 IV and Canon 7D MII's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX10 IV 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 Canon 7D MII has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX10 IV.
