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 XF10 and Canon G5 X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm XF10 has external dimensions of 113 x 64 x 41 mm (4.45 x 2.52 x 1.61″) and weighs 279 g (0.62 lb / 9.84 oz) (including batteries). Canon G5 X has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 44 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.73″) and weighs 353 g (0.78 lb / 12.45 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm XF10 and the Canon G5 X. Fujifilm XF10 is 12mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Canon G5 X but it is also 1mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm XF10 and Canon G5 X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm XF10 and Canon G5 X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm XF10 is significantly lighter (74g ) than the Canon G5 X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm XF10 nor Canon PowerShot G5 X 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 XF10 and Canon G5 X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G5 X 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. Fujifilm XF10's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X.
