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 X-T20 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 X-T20 has external dimensions of 118 x 83 x 41 mm (4.65 x 3.27 x 1.61″) and weighs 383 g (0.84 lb / 13.51 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm X-T20. Canon G1 X III is 3mm narrower and 5mm shorter than Fujifilm X-T20 but it is also 10mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III has a built-in lens but Fujifilm X-T20 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-T20, 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.
Fujifilm X-T20 is 16g lighter than the Canon G1 X III but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 X-T20, 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 X-T20 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm X-T20's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.
Fujifilm X-T20 features a
Tilting only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful especially for taking Selfie shots and video.
Both Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm X-T20 have APS-C sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X-T20's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the G1 X III and X-T20 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon G1 X III and Fujifilm X-T20 Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm X-T20 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon G1 X III. 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.
