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 SX50 HS and FujiFilm HS20 EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX50 HS and FujiFilm HS20 EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX50 HS is significantly lighter (135g ) than the FujiFilm HS20 EXR which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS nor FujiFilm FinePix HS20 EXR (FinePix HS22 EXR) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
