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 G1 X III and Fujifilm S1 Pro side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm S1 Pro has external dimensions of 148 x 125 x 80 mm (5.83 x 4.92 x 3.15″) and weighs 820 g (1.81 lb / 28.92 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm S1 Pro. Canon G1 X III is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 33mm narrower, 47mm shorter and 29mm thinner than Fujifilm S1 Pro. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III has a built-in lens but Fujifilm S1 Pro doesn't. Once you put a lens on S1 Pro, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G1 X III is significantly lighter (421g ) than the Fujifilm S1 Pro 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 S1 Pro, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather sealed body, we believe that G1 X III has a big advantage over S1 Pro which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III's 3 LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S1 Pro's 2" screen.
Moreover, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 Pro has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
Canon G1 X III has a 24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 7 processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 Pro has a 3.0MP APS-C (23 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Canon G1 X III's sensor provides 21MP more than Fujifilm S1 Pro'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 G1 X III and S1 Pro sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm S1 Pro Cameras
Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm S1 Pro have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
In this section, we rank and compare Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm S1 Pro 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.
