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 Fujifilm XP130 and Canon 500D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm XP130 has external dimensions of 110 x 71 x 28 mm (4.33 x 2.8 x 1.1″) and weighs 207 g (0.46 lb / 7.30 oz) (including batteries). Canon 500D has external dimensions of 129 x 98 x 62 mm (5.08 x 3.86 x 2.44″) and weighs 520 g (1.15 lb / 18.34 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm XP130 and the Canon 500D. Fujifilm XP130 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 19mm narrower, 27mm shorter and 34mm thinner than Canon 500D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm XP130 has a built-in lens but Canon 500D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 500D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm XP130 and Canon 500D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm XP130 and Canon 500D.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm XP130 is significantly lighter (313g ) than the Canon 500D 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 500D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the XP130, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the 500D.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm XP130 and Canon 500D's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
