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 Fujifilm S1500 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). Fujifilm S1500 has external dimensions of 103 x 73 x 68 mm (4.06 x 2.87 x 2.68″) and weighs 345 g (0.76 lb / 12.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm S1600 and the Fujifilm S1500. FujiFilm S1600 has the same height with Fujifilm S1500. On the other hand, with a width of 110mm, it is 7 wider and also with a thickness of 81mm, it is 13mm thicker than Fujifilm S1500.
Here is the back view size comparison of the FujiFilm S1600 and Fujifilm S1500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm S1600 is 8g lighter than the Fujifilm S1500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S1600 (FinePix S1770) nor Fujifilm FinePix S1500 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 Bridge Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
FujiFilm S1600's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S1500's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
