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 Pentax X-5 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). Pentax X-5 has external dimensions of 119 x 86 x 107 mm (4.69 x 3.39 x 4.21″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm S2800HD and the Pentax X-5. FujiFilm S2800HD is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Pentax X-5.
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 (158g ) than the Pentax X-5 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S2800HD (FinePix S2900HD) nor Pentax X-5 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 Pentax X-5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Pentax X-5 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-5.
