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 F550 EXR and Sony HX10V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm F550 EXR has external dimensions of 104 x 63 x 33 mm (4.09 x 2.48 x 1.3″) and weighs 215 g (0.47 lb / 7.58 oz) (including batteries). Sony HX10V has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 34 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.34″) and weighs 234 g (0.52 lb / 8.25 oz) (including batteries).
