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 X70 and FujiFilm S4000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X70 has external dimensions of 113 x 64 x 44 mm (4.45 x 2.52 x 1.73″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X70 and FujiFilm S4000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X70 is significantly lighter (200g ) than the FujiFilm S4000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm X70 nor FujiFilm FinePix S4000 (FinePix S4050) 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 X70 and FujiFilm S4000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm X70 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 S4000 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X70.
