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 HS35EXR and Sony HX300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm HS35EXR has external dimensions of 131 x 97 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.82 x 4.96″) and weighs 687 g (1.51 lb / 24.23 oz) (including batteries). Sony HX300 has external dimensions of 130 x 93 x 103 mm (5.1 x 3.67 x 4.06″) and weighs 623 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm HS35EXR and the Sony HX300. Sony HX300 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 23mm thinner than Fujifilm HS35EXR.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm HS35EXR and Sony HX300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm HS35EXR and Sony HX300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX300 is 64g lighter than the Fujifilm HS35EXR but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
