Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FX78 is significantly lighter (528g ) 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-FX78 (Lumix DMC-FX77) 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
Panasonic FX78's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S9900w's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
