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 S1600 and Canon SX50 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. FujiFilm S1600 has external dimensions of 110 x 73 x 81 mm (4.33 x 2.89 x 3.19″) and weighs 337 g (0.74 lb / 11.89 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX50 HS has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 106 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.17″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm S1600 and the Canon SX50 HS. FujiFilm S1600 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Canon SX50 HS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the FujiFilm S1600 and Canon SX50 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm S1600 is significantly lighter (258g ) than the Canon SX50 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S1600 (FinePix S1770) nor Canon PowerShot SX50 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

FujiFilm S1600's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX50 HS's 2.8" screen.
