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 S1 and Olympus FE-47 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S1 has external dimensions of 133 x 91 x 110 mm (5.24 x 3.58 x 4.33″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Olympus FE-47 has external dimensions of 98 x 61 x 27 mm (3.86 x 2.4 x 1.06″) and weighs 204 g (0.45 lb / 7.20 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1 and the Olympus FE-47. Olympus FE-47 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 35mm narrower, 30mm shorter and 83mm thinner than Fujifilm S1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1 and Olympus FE-47.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm S1 and Olympus FE-47.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-47 is significantly lighter (476g ) than the Fujifilm S1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the S1 has a big advantage over the FE-47 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S1's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-47's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Fujifilm S1 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, Olympus FE-47 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S1.
