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 SX30 IS and Fujifilm F750EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX30 IS has external dimensions of 123 x 92 x 108 mm (4.84 x 3.62 x 4.25″) and weighs 601 g (1.32 lb / 21.20 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm F750EXR has external dimensions of 105 x 63 x 36 mm (4.13 x 2.48 x 1.42″) and weighs 234 g (0.52 lb / 8.25 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX30 IS and the Fujifilm F750EXR. Fujifilm F750EXR is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 18mm narrower, 29mm shorter and 72mm thinner than Canon SX30 IS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm F750EXR is significantly lighter (367g ) than the Canon SX30 IS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX30 IS nor Fujifilm FinePix F750EXR 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 F750EXR's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX30 IS's 2.7" screen.
On the other hand, Canon SX30 IS 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 F750EXR has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX30 IS.
