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-T100 and Sony a3500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-T100 has external dimensions of 121 x 83 x 47 mm (4.76 x 3.27 x 1.85″) and weighs 448 g (0.99 lb / 15.80 oz) (including batteries). Sony a3500 has external dimensions of 128 x 91 x 85 mm (5.04 x 3.58 x 3.35″) and weighs 411 g (0.91 lb / 14.50 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T100 and the Sony a3500. Fujifilm X-T100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 38mm thinner than Sony a3500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T100 and Sony a3500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony a3500 is 37g lighter than the Fujifilm X-T100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Fujifilm X-T100 and Sony a3500 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm X-T100 nor Sony Alpha a3500 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X-T100 and Sony a3500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T100 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Sony a3500 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-T100.
