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 S4000 and Canon G15 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. FujiFilm S4000 has external dimensions of 118 x 81 x 100 mm (4.65 x 3.19 x 3.94″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of FujiFilm S4000 and Canon G15.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G15 is significantly lighter (188g ) than the FujiFilm S4000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S4000 (FinePix S4050) nor Canon PowerShot G15 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
