Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm JZ500 is significantly lighter (375g ) than the Fujifilm S4200 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm FinePix S4200 nor FujiFilm FinePix JZ500 (FinePix JZ505) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S4200's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm JZ500's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
