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 X-T10 and Panasonic GX8 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-T10 has external dimensions of 118 x 83 x 41 mm (4.65 x 3.27 x 1.61″) and weighs 381 g (0.84 lb / 13.44 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic GX8 has external dimensions of 133 x 78 x 63 mm (5.24 x 3.07 x 2.48″) and weighs 487 g (1.07 lb / 17.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 and the Panasonic GX8. Fujifilm X-T10 is 15mm narrower and 22mm thinner than Panasonic GX8 but it is also 5mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 and Panasonic GX8.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T10 and Panasonic GX8.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X-T10 is significantly lighter (106g ) than the Panasonic GX8 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm X-T10 has an APS-C sized sensor and Panasonic GX8 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic GX8's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm X-T10 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the GX8, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the X-T10.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X-T10 and Panasonic GX8's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm X-T10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic GX8 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
