Canon M100 vs Fujifilm GFX 50R: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon M100 and Fujifilm GFX 50R side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M100 has external dimensions of 108 x 67 x 35 mm (4.25 x 2.64 x 1.38″) and weighs 302 g (0.67 lb / 10.65 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm GFX 50R has external dimensions of 161 x 97 x 66 mm (6.34 x 3.82 x 2.6″) and weighs 775 g (1.71 lb / 27.34 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon M100 and Fujifilm GFX 50R. Canon M100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 53mm narrower, 30mm shorter and 31mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 50R.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon M100 is significantly lighter (473g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 50R 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon M100 has an APS-C sized sensor and Fujifilm GFX 50R has a smaller Medium format sensor, Fujifilm GFX 50R's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon M100 lenses.

Fujifilm GFX 50R's sensor provides 27MP more than Canon M100's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
