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 S2800HD and Canon SX40 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. FujiFilm S2800HD has external dimensions of 110 x 74 x 82 mm (4.33 x 2.91 x 3.23″) and weighs 437 g (0.96 lb / 15.41 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX40 HS has external dimensions of 123 x 92 x 108 mm (4.84 x 3.62 x 4.25″) and weighs 600 g (1.32 lb / 21.16 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm S2800HD and the Canon SX40 HS. FujiFilm S2800HD is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 18mm shorter and 26mm thinner than Canon SX40 HS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the FujiFilm S2800HD and Canon SX40 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm S2800HD is significantly lighter (163g ) than the Canon SX40 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S2800HD (FinePix S2900HD) nor Canon PowerShot SX40 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

FujiFilm S2800HD's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX40 HS's 2.7 screen.
