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 Canon G12 and FujiFilm S2950 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G12 has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 48 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.89″) and weighs 401 g (0.88 lb / 14.14 oz) (including batteries). FujiFilm S2950 has external dimensions of 110 x 73 x 81 mm (4.33 x 2.87 x 3.19″) and weighs 437 g (0.96 lb / 15.41 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G12 and the FujiFilm S2950. FujiFilm S2950 is 2mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Canon G12 but it is also 33mm thicker.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G12 and FujiFilm S2950.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G12 is 36g lighter than the FujiFilm S2950 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G12 nor FujiFilm FinePix S2950 (FinePix S2990) 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 S2950's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon G12's 2.8 screen.
On the other hand, Canon G12 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 S2950 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G12.
