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 S1 and Fujifilm HS30EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S1 has external dimensions of 133 x 91 x 110 mm (5.24 x 3.58 x 4.33″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm HS30EXR 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1 and the Fujifilm HS30EXR. Fujifilm S1 is 6mm shorter and 16mm thinner than Fujifilm HS30EXR but it is also 2mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm S1 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S1 is 7g lighter than the Fujifilm HS30EXR but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the S1 has a big advantage over the HS30EXR which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S1 and Fujifilm HS30EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm HS30EXR features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
