Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Nikon 1 J4 and FujiFilm HS10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon 1 J4 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 29 mm (3.92 x 2.36 x 1.12″) and weighs 232 g (0.51 lb / 8.18 oz) (including batteries). FujiFilm HS10 has external dimensions of 131 x 91 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.58 x 4.96″) and weighs 666 g (1.47 lb / 23.49 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Nikon 1 J4 and FujiFilm HS10. Nikon 1 J4 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 31mm narrower, 31mm shorter and 97mm thinner than FujiFilm HS10. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since FujiFilm HS10 has a built-in lens but Nikon 1 J4 doesn't. Once you put a lens on 1 J4, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon 1 J4 is significantly lighter (434g ) than the FujiFilm HS10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 1 J4, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon 1 J4 nor FujiFilm FinePix HS10 (FinePix HS11) provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Nikon 1 J4 and FujiFilm HS10's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
On the other hand, FujiFilm HS10 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 Nikon 1 J4 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS10.
Nikon 1 J4 has a 18.0MP 1" (13.2 x 8.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 4 processor. On the other hand, FujiFilm HS10 has a 10.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Nikon 1 J4's sensor provides 8MP more than FujiFilm HS10's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the 1 J4 and HS10 sensor size comparison.
