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 Z990 and Fujifilm HS30EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak Z990 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 HS30EXR has external dimensions of 131 x 97 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.82 x 4.96″) and weighs 687 g (1.51 lb / 24.23 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak Z990 and the Fujifilm HS30EXR. Kodak Z990 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Fujifilm HS30EXR.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak Z990 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Z990 is significantly lighter (242g ) than the Fujifilm HS30EXR which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak EasyShare Z990 (EasyShare Max) nor Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR 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 Z990 and Fujifilm HS30EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm HS30EXR 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 Z990 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS30EXR.
