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 Kodak Z980 and Fujifilm X30 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak Z980 has external dimensions of 124 x 91 x 105 mm (4.88 x 3.58 x 4.13″) and weighs 445 g (0.98 lb / 15.70 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X30 has external dimensions of 119 x 72 x 60 mm (4.69 x 2.83 x 2.36″) and weighs 423 g (0.93 lb / 14.92 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak Z980 and the Fujifilm X30. Fujifilm X30 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 19mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Kodak Z980.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Kodak Z980 and Fujifilm X30.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak Z980 and Fujifilm X30.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X30 is 22g lighter than the Kodak Z980 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak EasyShare Z980 nor Fujifilm X30 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
Kodak Z980 and Fujifilm X30'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 Kodak Z980 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X30.
