Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SZ-31MR iHS is significantly lighter (454g ) than the Fujifilm S1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the S1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the SZ-31MR iHS.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SZ-31MR iHS and Fujifilm S1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 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. Olympus SZ-31MR iHS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S1.
