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 Nikon L120 and Fujifilm X-E1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L120 has external dimensions of 110 x 77 x 78 mm (4.33 x 3.03 x 3.07″) and weighs 431 g (0.95 lb / 15.20 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X-E1 has external dimensions of 129 x 75 x 38 mm (5.08 x 2.95 x 1.5″) and weighs 350 g (0.77 lb / 12.35 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Nikon L120 and Fujifilm X-E1. Fujifilm X-E1 is 2mm shorter and 40mm thinner than Nikon L120 but it is also 19mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon L120 has a built-in lens but Fujifilm X-E1 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-E1, 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-E1 is significantly lighter (81g ) than the Nikon L120 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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-E1, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix L120 nor Fujifilm X-E1 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon L120's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X-E1's 2.8" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
