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 X-T10 and Fujifilm S9800 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-T10 has external dimensions of 118 x 83 x 41 mm (4.65 x 3.27 x 1.61″) and weighs 381 g (0.84 lb / 13.44 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm S9800 has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 and the Fujifilm S9800. Fujifilm X-T10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 75mm thinner than Fujifilm S9800. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S9800 has a built-in lens but Fujifilm X-T10 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-T10, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm S9800.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm S9800.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X-T10 is significantly lighter (289g ) than the Fujifilm S9800 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-T10, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm X-T10 nor Fujifilm S9800 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm S9800's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T10 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Fujifilm S9800 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-T10.
