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 Panasonic G9 and Fujifilm Z900EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G9 has external dimensions of 137 x 97 x 92 mm (5.39 x 3.82 x 3.62″) and weighs 658 g (1.45 lb / 23.21 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm Z900EXR has external dimensions of 101 x 59 x 18 mm (3.98 x 2.32 x 0.71″) and weighs 151 g (0.33 lb / 5.33 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G9 and the Fujifilm Z900EXR. Fujifilm Z900EXR is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 36mm narrower, 38mm shorter and 74mm thinner than Panasonic G9. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm Z900EXR has a built-in lens but Panasonic G9 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G9, 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 Z900EXR is significantly lighter (507g ) than the Panasonic G9 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 G9, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G9 has a big advantage over the Z900EXR which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm Z900EXR's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic G9's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Panasonic G9 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 Z900EXR has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G9.
