Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S2500HD (FinePix S2600HD) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V 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 S2500HD and Sony HX100V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX100V features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the FujiFilm S2500HD has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX100V.
