Casio EX-FC100 vs Fujifilm X-T1: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

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 Casio EX-FC100 and Fujifilm X-T1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Casio EX-FC100 has external dimensions of 100 x 59 x 23 mm (3.94 x 2.32 x 0.91″) and weighs 156 g (0.34 lb / 5.50 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X-T1 has external dimensions of 129 x 90 x 47 mm (5.08 x 3.54 x 1.84″) and weighs 440 g (0.97 lb / 15.52 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Casio EX-FC100 and Fujifilm X-T1. Casio EX-FC100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 29mm narrower, 31mm shorter and 24mm thinner than Fujifilm X-T1. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Casio EX-FC100 has a built-in lens but Fujifilm X-T1 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-T1, its thickness will increase significantly.

Here is the back view size comparison of Casio EX-FC100 and Fujifilm X-T1.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Casio EX-FC100 is significantly lighter (284g ) than the Fujifilm X-T1 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 X-T1, the total kit will weigh much higher.

Weather Sealing

Thanks to the weather sealed body of X-T1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to EX-FC100.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X-T1's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Casio EX-FC100's 2.7" screen.

In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm X-T1 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, Casio EX-FC100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-T1.
Casio EX-FC100 vs Fujifilm X-T1: Sensor Comparison

Casio EX-FC100 has a 9.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T1 has a 16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS II sensor and features EXR Processor II processor.

Fujifilm X-T1's sensor provides 7MP more than Casio EX-FC100'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 EX-FC100 and X-T1 sensor size comparison.
