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 Olympus SZ-31MR iHS 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). Olympus SZ-31MR iHS has external dimensions of 106 x 69 x 40 mm (4.17 x 2.72 x 1.57″) and weighs 226 g (0.50 lb / 7.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1 and the Olympus SZ-31MR iHS. Olympus SZ-31MR iHS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 27mm narrower, 22mm shorter and 70mm thinner than Fujifilm S1.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SZ-31MR iHS is significantly lighter (454g ) than the Fujifilm S1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the S1 has a big advantage over the SZ-31MR iHS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S1 and Olympus SZ-31MR iHS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Olympus SZ-31MR iHS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S1.
