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 S9900 and FujiFilm JZ300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S9900 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 40 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.57″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries). FujiFilm JZ300 has external dimensions of 97 x 57 x 29 mm (3.82 x 2.24 x 1.14″) and weighs 168 g (0.37 lb / 5.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and the FujiFilm JZ300. FujiFilm JZ300 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 9mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Nikon S9900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and FujiFilm JZ300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm JZ300 is significantly lighter (121g ) than the Nikon S9900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S9900 nor FujiFilm FinePix JZ300 (FinePix JZ305) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S9900's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm JZ300's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Nikon S9900 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, FujiFilm JZ300 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S9900.
