Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

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

Unfortunately neither the Sony ZV-1F nor Canon PowerShot G5 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.
