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 Olympus SZ-12 and Fujifilm F800EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SZ-12 has external dimensions of 106 x 69 x 40 mm (4.17 x 2.72 x 1.57″) and weighs 226 g (0.50 lb / 7.97 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm F800EXR has external dimensions of 105 x 63 x 36 mm (4.13 x 2.48 x 1.42″) and weighs 232 g (0.51 lb / 8.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SZ-12 and the Fujifilm F800EXR. Fujifilm F800EXR is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Olympus SZ-12.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus SZ-12 and Fujifilm F800EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SZ-12 is 6g lighter than the Fujifilm F800EXR but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Unfortunately neither the Olympus SZ-12 nor Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
