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 S2800HD 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 S2800HD has external dimensions of 110 x 74 x 82 mm (4.33 x 2.91 x 3.23″) and weighs 437 g (0.96 lb / 15.41 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Nikon 1 J4 and FujiFilm S2800HD. Nikon 1 J4 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 53mm thinner than FujiFilm S2800HD.

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 (205g ) than the FujiFilm S2800HD which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
