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 S200EXR and Fujifilm HS30EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of FujiFilm S200EXR and Fujifilm HS30EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm HS30EXR is significantly lighter (178g ) than the FujiFilm S200EXR which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S200EXR (FinePix S205EXR) nor Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR 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 HS30EXR's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm S200EXR's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm HS30EXR LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, FujiFilm S200EXR has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS30EXR.
