Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm X30 nor Fujifilm FinePix F550 EXR 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 X30 and Fujifilm F550 EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm X30 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Fujifilm F550 EXR has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X30.
