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 Fujifilm XP120 and Sony NEX-C3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm XP120 has external dimensions of 110 x 71 x 28 mm (4.33 x 2.8 x 1.1″) and weighs 203 g (0.45 lb / 7.16 oz) (including batteries). Sony NEX-C3 has external dimensions of 110 x 60 x 33 mm (4.33 x 2.36 x 1.3″) and weighs 225 g (0.50 lb / 7.94 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm XP120 and the Sony NEX-C3. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm XP120 has a built-in lens but Sony NEX-C3 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NEX-C3, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm XP120 and Sony NEX-C3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm XP120 and Sony NEX-C3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm XP120 is 22g lighter than the Sony NEX-C3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 NEX-C3, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the XP120, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the NEX-C3.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm XP120 and Sony NEX-C3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony NEX-C3 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Fujifilm XP120 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NEX-C3.
