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 S9900w and Nikon D3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S9900w 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). Nikon D3 has external dimensions of 160 x 157 x 88 mm (6.3 x 6.18 x 3.46″) and weighs 1300 g (2.87 lb / 45.86 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S9900w and the Nikon D3. Fujifilm S9900w is 37mm narrower and 70mm shorter than Nikon D3 but it is also 28mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S9900w has a built-in lens but Nikon D3 doesn't. Once you put a lens on D3, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S9900w is significantly lighter (630g ) than the Nikon D3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on D3, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the D3, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S9900w.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S9900w and Nikon D3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
