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 S4800 and Panasonic FZ200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S4800 has external dimensions of 122 x 93 x 100 mm (4.8 x 3.66 x 3.94″) and weighs 518 g (1.14 lb / 18.27 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FZ200 has external dimensions of 125 x 87 x 110 mm (4.92 x 3.43 x 4.33″) and weighs 588 g (1.30 lb / 20.74 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S4800 is 70g lighter than the Panasonic FZ200 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm FinePix S4800 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 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 S4800 and Panasonic FZ200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ200 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. Fujifilm S4800's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ200.
