Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm XP130 and Panasonic GF7. Panasonic GF7 is 3mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Fujifilm XP130 but it is also 5mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm XP130 has a built-in lens but Panasonic GF7 doesn't. Once you put a lens on GF7, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm XP130 and Panasonic GF7.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm XP130 is significantly lighter (59g ) than the Panasonic GF7 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 GF7, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Both Fujifilm XP130 and Panasonic GF7 have 16.0 MP resolution sensors but Fujifilm XP130's sensor is 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) and Panasonic GF7's sensor is Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ).
Since Panasonic GF7's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Fujifilm XP130.
Below you can see the XP130 and GF7 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Panasonic GF7 has a 8.0x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm XP130. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
In this section, we rank and compare Fujifilm XP130 and Panasonic GF7 for five different photography types in order to make your decision process easier in case you are specifically interested in one or more of these areas.
