Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI nor Canon PowerShot G5 X provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
