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 ZV-1 and Panasonic G100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic G100 has external dimensions of 116 x 83 x 54 mm (4.57 x 3.27 x 2.13″) and weighs 352 g (0.78 lb / 12.42 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and the Panasonic G100. Sony ZV-1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 10mm thinner than Panasonic G100. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony ZV-1 has a built-in lens but Panasonic G100 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G100, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and Panasonic G100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony ZV-1 and Panasonic G100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony ZV-1 is significantly lighter (58g ) than the Panasonic G100 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 G100, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony ZV-1 nor Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 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 and Panasonic G100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
