Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus FE-47 nor Fujifilm X30 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, 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 Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X30's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-47's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm X30 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Olympus FE-47 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X30.
