Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm S2500HD is significantly lighter (703g ) than the Canon XC10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon XC10 nor FujiFilm FinePix S2500HD (FinePix S2600HD) 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 XC10 and FujiFilm S2500HD's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon XC10 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 S2500HD has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to XC10.
