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 M6 and Fujifilm GFX 50S side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon M6 and Fujifilm GFX 50S. Canon M6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 36mm narrower, 47mm shorter and 46mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 50S.
Here is the back view size comparison of Canon M6 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M6 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M6 is significantly lighter (350g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 50S 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 M6 has an APS-C sized sensor and Fujifilm GFX 50S has a smaller Medium format sensor, Fujifilm GFX 50S's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon M6 lenses.

Fujifilm GFX 50S's sensor provides 27MP more than Canon M6'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.
Below you can see the M6 and GFX 50S sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Fujifilm GFX 50S has a 4.4x Larger sensor area than Canon M6. 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.
