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 S9400W and Panasonic FZ300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S9400W has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FZ300 has external dimensions of 132 x 92 x 117 mm (5.2 x 3.62 x 4.61″) and weighs 691 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S9400W and the Panasonic FZ300. Fujifilm S9400W is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Panasonic FZ300.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm S9400W and Panasonic FZ300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm S9400W and Panasonic FZ300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S9400W is 21g lighter than the Panasonic FZ300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the FZ300, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S9400W.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S9400W and Panasonic FZ300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ300 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 S9400W's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ300.
