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 Leica V-Lux 3 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). Leica V-Lux 3 has external dimensions of 124 x 81 x 95 mm (4.88 x 3.19 x 3.74″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm S2800HD and the Leica V-Lux 3. FujiFilm S2800HD is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 7mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 3.
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 (103g ) than the Leica V-Lux 3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S2800HD (FinePix S2900HD) nor Leica V-Lux 3 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 S2800HD and Leica V-Lux 3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Leica V-Lux 3 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. FujiFilm S2800HD's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 3.
