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 X-A5 and Canon G1 X III side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-A5 has external dimensions of 117 x 68 x 40 mm (4.61 x 2.68 x 1.57″) and weighs 361 g (0.80 lb / 12.73 oz) (including batteries). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-A5 and the Canon G1 X III. Fujifilm X-A5 is 10mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Canon G1 X III but it is also 2mm wider. 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-A5 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-A5, 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-A5 is 38g 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-A5, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G1 X III, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the X-A5.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X-A5 and Canon G1 X III's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm X-A5 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 selfies and video.
