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 Kodak EasyShare Z990 (EasyShare Max) nor Fujifilm FinePix HS50 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
Kodak Z990 and Fujifilm HS50 EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm HS50 EXR 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. Kodak Z990's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS50 EXR.
