Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G9 X II is significantly lighter (86g ) than the Sony ZV-1 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony ZV-1 Mark II nor Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II 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
Sony ZV-1 II and Canon G9 X II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 II sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Canon G9 X II's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZV-1 II.
