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 S2500HD 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 S2500HD has external dimensions of 110 x 73 x 81 mm (4.33 x 2.89 x 3.19″) and weighs 337 g (0.74 lb / 11.89 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Nikon 1 J4 and FujiFilm S2500HD. Nikon 1 J4 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 13mm shorter and 52mm thinner than FujiFilm S2500HD. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since FujiFilm S2500HD 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 (105g ) than the FujiFilm S2500HD 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 S2500HD (FinePix S2600HD) provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
