Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Nikon S33 and Panasonic FH1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S33 has external dimensions of 110 x 66 x 27 mm (4.33 x 2.6 x 1.06″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FH1 has external dimensions of 98 x 55 x 23 mm (3.86 x 2.17 x 0.91″) and weighs 163 g (0.36 lb / 5.75 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S33 and the Panasonic FH1. Panasonic FH1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 11mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Nikon S33.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S33 and Panasonic FH1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH1 is significantly lighter (58g ) than the Nikon S33 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the S33 has a big advantage over the FH1 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S33 and Panasonic FH1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
