Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 550WP is significantly lighter (499g ) than the FujiFilm HS10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 550WP has a big advantage over the HS10 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
FujiFilm HS10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus 550WP's 2.5" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, FujiFilm HS10 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 550WP has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS10.
