Canon powershot g5 x mark ii vs sony rx100 vi?

Both are 1-inch sensor compacts with 20.1-megapixel sensors, so image quality should be close. The difference is mostly in the lens and the body.

The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II has a brighter lens, f/1.8-2.8 across roughly 24-119mm on full frame, and a pop-up viewfinder. I'd pick it for indoor shooting, low light, and a bit more background blur.

The Sony RX100 VI reaches further, with a 9-72mm lens (about 24-194mm equivalent), but it's slower at f/2.8-4.5. I'd pick it if you want one pocket camera for travel and distant subjects.

The RX100 VI was announced in 2018 and the G5 X Mark II in 2019. If you're not sure a compact is the right kind of camera for you, start with your first camera.
