Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use during that time. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the SD960 IS compared to the Fujifilm X-E4.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SD960 IS and Fujifilm X-E4 is 95 and 86 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SD960 IS and Fujifilm X-E4.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SD960 IS due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X-E4 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older SD960 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
