Sony zv 1 vs canon powershot g5 x mark ii?

Both are 1-inch sensor compacts with 20.1-megapixel sensors and built-in stabilisation, so the choice comes down to the lens and the body.

The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II has the longer reach: its 8.8-44mm lens frames like 24-119mm on full frame. It also has a pop-up viewfinder, which the ZV-1 page doesn't list. Pick it if you want to shoot further away or like to frame through a viewfinder.

The Sony ZV-1 is the newer of the two, announced in 2020, and its 9.4-26mm lens frames like 25-69mm. That's a little tighter at the long end, but it starts slightly wider than 25mm. Pick it if you mostly shoot wider scenes or people close up.
