Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Fujifilm X100T nor Zeiss ZX1 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Zeiss ZX1's 4.34" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X100T's 3" screen.
Moreover, Zeiss ZX1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Fujifilm X100T has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZX1.
Fujifilm X100T has a 16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS II sensor and features EXR Processor II processor. On the other hand, Zeiss ZX1 has a 37.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Zeiss ZX1's sensor provides 21MP more than Fujifilm X100T'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 X100T and ZX1 sensor size comparison.
