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 VH-515 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
Olympus VH-515 and Fujifilm X30's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm X30 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Olympus VH-515 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X30.
