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 (618g ) than the Fujifilm S2 Pro which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm S2 Pro has an APS-C sized sensor and Nikon 1 J4 has a smaller 1" sensor, Nikon 1 J4's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm S2 Pro lenses.

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather sealed body of S2 Pro, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to 1 J4.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon 1 J4's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S2 Pro's 1.8" screen.

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 S2 Pro has a 6.0MP APS-C (23 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Nikon 1 J4's sensor provides 12MP more than Fujifilm S2 Pro'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.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon 1 J4 and Fujifilm S2 Pro Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm S2 Pro has a 3.1x Larger sensor area than Nikon 1 J4. 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.
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Fujifilm S2 Pro has an advantage over Nikon 1 J4 There are 309 lenses for Fujifilm S2 Pro's Nikon F mount, on the other hand there are only 13 lenses for Nikon 1 J4's Nikon 1 lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 7 lenses for Nikon 1 mount and 106 lenses for Nikon F mount with IS.
