The G5 X MII was announced 4 years later than the D-Lux Typ 109 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a quick summary of how the G5 X MII scores vs the D-Lux Typ 109 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II and Leica D-Lux Typ 109. The whole galleries are provided at Canon G5 X MII Gallery and Leica D-Lux Typ 109 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is a front view over all size comparison of the G5 X MII compared to the D-Lux Typ 109.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the G5 X MII and D-Lux Typ 109 is 86 and 82 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the G5 X MII and D-Lux Typ 109.

As you can see, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G5 X MII with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon G5 X MII will render greater detail with its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more modern G5 X MII provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
