Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S230 is significantly lighter (53g ) than the FujiFilm JZ300 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix JZ300 (FinePix JZ305) nor Nikon Coolpix S230 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S230's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm JZ300's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
