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 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700 nor FujiFilm FinePix S4000 (FinePix S4050) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Panasonic FX700 and FujiFilm S4000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
