Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate FujiFilm S2800HD and Fujifilm X-A1 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). Fujifilm X-A1 has external dimensions of 117 x 67 x 39 mm (4.6 x 2.62 x 1.54″) and weighs 330 g (0.73 lb / 11.64 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of FujiFilm S2800HD and Fujifilm X-A1. Fujifilm X-A1 is 7mm shorter and 43mm thinner than FujiFilm S2800HD but it is also 7mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since FujiFilm S2800HD has a built-in lens but Fujifilm X-A1 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-A1, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X-A1 is significantly lighter (107g ) than the FujiFilm S2800HD which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on X-A1, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither FujiFilm FinePix S2800HD (FinePix S2900HD) nor Fujifilm X-A1 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
FujiFilm S2800HD and Fujifilm X-A1's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
On the other hand, Fujifilm X-A1 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 S2800HD has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-A1.
