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 FujiFilm HS20 EXR and Nikon D90 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. FujiFilm HS20 EXR has external dimensions of 131 x 91 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.58 x 4.96″) and weighs 730 g (1.61 lb / 25.75 oz) (including batteries). Nikon D90 has external dimensions of 132 x 103 x 77 mm (5.2 x 4.06 x 3.03″) and weighs 703 g (1.55 lb / 24.80 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm HS20 EXR and the Nikon D90. FujiFilm HS20 EXR is 1mm narrower and 12mm shorter than Nikon D90 but it is also 49mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since FujiFilm HS20 EXR has a built-in lens but Nikon D90 doesn't. Once you put a lens on D90, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the FujiFilm HS20 EXR and Nikon D90.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of FujiFilm HS20 EXR and Nikon D90.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon D90 is 27g lighter than the FujiFilm HS20 EXR but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on D90, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix HS20 EXR (FinePix HS22 EXR) nor Nikon D90 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 HS20 EXR and Nikon D90's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, FujiFilm HS20 EXR 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 Nikon D90 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS20 EXR.
