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 Panasonic FH3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Panasonic FH3 has external dimensions of 98 x 55 x 24 mm (3.86 x 2.17 x 0.94″) and weighs 165 g (0.36 lb / 5.82 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH3 is significantly lighter (505g ) than the Fujifilm S9900w which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm S9900w nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH3 (Lumix DMC-FS11) 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 S9900w's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH3's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
