Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm JV100 is significantly lighter (59g ) than the Canon A1200 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix JV100 (FinePix JV105) nor Canon PowerShot A1200 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

FujiFilm JV100 and Canon A1200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
