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 G3 X and Fujifilm S8400W side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G3 X has external dimensions of 123 x 77 x 105 mm (4.84 x 3.03 x 4.13″) and weighs 733 g (1.62 lb / 25.86 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm S8400W has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G3 X and the Fujifilm S8400W. Canon G3 X has the same height with Fujifilm S8400W. On the other hand, with a width of 77mm, it is 10 narrower and also with a thickness of 105mm, it is 11mm thinner than Fujifilm S8400W.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G3 X and Fujifilm S8400W.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G3 X and Fujifilm S8400W.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S8400W is 63g lighter than the Canon G3 X but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G3 X has a big advantage over the S8400W which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G3 X's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S8400W's 3" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon G3 X LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Fujifilm S8400W has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G3 X.
