The D7200 is actually slightly larger, they both weight about the same. I wouldn't worry about any kind of equivalence, just go by what the camera tells you. They are both APSC so the ISO is the same for both, Fuji just handle it different to Nikon

I bought the kit with the grip, so I was comparing the D7200 without a grip to the X-H1 with a grip. I should have made that clear.

Fuji ISO values are SES (Standard Output Sensitivity) values, whereas Nikon ISO values are REI (Recommended Exposure Index) values, so they aren't directly comparable. But if you are using the camera's metering system for exposure, then the only reason you care about ISO is noise. For that, you add 2/3 of a stop to the D7200 ISO number: for example a picture taken at ISO 1250 on the X-H1 will have about the same amount of noise as a picture taken at ISO 800 on the D7200. (This only works if the X-H1 ISO number is 800 or higher.)
