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 Real 3D W1 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 Real 3D W1 has external dimensions of 124 x 68 x 26 mm (4.88 x 2.68 x 1.02″) and weighs 260 g (0.57 lb / 9.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Nikon 1 J4 and Fujifilm Real 3D W1. Nikon 1 J4 is 24mm narrower and 8mm shorter than Fujifilm Real 3D W1 but it is also 3mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm Real 3D W1 has a built-in lens but Nikon 1 J4 doesn't. Once you put a lens on 1 J4, its thickness will increase significantly.

Here is the back view size comparison of Nikon 1 J4 and Fujifilm Real 3D W1.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon 1 J4 is 28g lighter than the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 Real 3D W1 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Mirrorless Cameras with Weather Sealing Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon 1 J4's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm Real 3D W1's 2.8" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
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 Real 3D W1 has a 10.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features RP (Real Photo) 3D processor.
Nikon 1 J4's sensor provides 8MP more than Fujifilm Real 3D W1'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 Real 3D W1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon 1 J4 and Fujifilm Real 3D W1 Cameras
As seen above, Nikon 1 J4 has a 4.1x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm Real 3D W1. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
In this section, we rank and compare Nikon 1 J4 and Fujifilm Real 3D W1 for five different photography types in order to make your decision process easier in case you are specifically interested in one or more of these areas.
