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 Fujifilm X-T20 and Nikon Z6 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-T20 and Nikon Z6. Fujifilm X-T20 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 18mm shorter and 27mm thinner than Nikon Z6.
Here is the back view size comparison of Fujifilm X-T20 and Nikon Z6.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T20 and Nikon Z6.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X-T20 is significantly lighter (292g ) than the Nikon Z6 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Nikon Z6 has a Full frame sensor and Fujifilm X-T20 has a smaller APS-C sensor, Fujifilm X-T20's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Nikon Z6 lenses.

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather sealed body of Z6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to X-T20.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon Z6's 3.2 LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X-T20's 3.2" screen.
Fujifilm X-T20 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS III sensor and features X-Processor Pro2 processor. On the other hand, Nikon Z6 has a 25.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Expeed 6 processor.
Another difference between these two cameras is that Fujifilm X-T20's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the X-T20 and Z6 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Nikon Z6 has a 2.3x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm X-T20. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Fujifilm X-T20 has an advantage over Nikon Z6. There are 51 lenses for Fujifilm X-T20's Fujifilm X mount, on the other hand there are only 15 lenses for Nikon Z6's Nikon Z lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Nikon Z6 has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T20 doesn't have this feature so you have to buy a lens with optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 12 lenses for Fujifilm X mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
