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 Canon M5 and Fujifilm X-H1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M5 has external dimensions of 116 x 89 x 61 mm (4.57 x 3.5 x 2.4″) and weighs 427 g (0.94 lb / 15.06 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X-H1 has external dimensions of 140 x 97 x 86 mm (5.51 x 3.82 x 3.39″) and weighs 673 g (1.48 lb / 23.74 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M5 and the Fujifilm X-H1. Canon M5 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Fujifilm X-H1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M5 and Fujifilm X-H1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M5 and Fujifilm X-H1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M5 is significantly lighter (246g ) than the Fujifilm X-H1 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 both Canon M5 and Fujifilm X-H1 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the X-H1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M5.
