Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S1500 is significantly lighter (92g ) than the FujiFilm S2950 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S2950 (FinePix S2990) nor Fujifilm FinePix S1500 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 S2950's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S1500's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
