Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm S9900w and Panasonic G5 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). Panasonic G5 has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 71 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 2.8″) and weighs 396 g (0.87 lb / 13.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm S9900w and Panasonic G5. Panasonic G5 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Fujifilm S9900w. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S9900w has a built-in lens but Panasonic G5 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G5, 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.
Panasonic G5 is significantly lighter (274g ) than the Fujifilm S9900w 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 G5, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Fujifilm S9900w nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S9900w and Panasonic G5's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
On the other hand, Panasonic G5 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 S9900w's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5.
