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 SX60 HS and Fujifilm S8500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX60 HS has external dimensions of 128 x 93 x 114 mm (5.04 x 3.66 x 4.49″) and weighs 650 g (1.43 lb / 22.93 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm S8500 has external dimensions of and weighs 670 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX60 HS and the Fujifilm S8500. Fujifilm S8500 is 5mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Canon SX60 HS but it is also 2mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX60 HS and Fujifilm S8500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX60 HS and Fujifilm S8500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX60 HS is 20g lighter than the Fujifilm S8500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS nor Fujifilm FinePix S8500 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
Canon SX60 HS and Fujifilm S8500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon SX60 HS 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. Fujifilm S8500's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX60 HS.
