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 Pentax RS1500 and Fujifilm X30 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax RS1500 has external dimensions of 114 x 58 x 28 mm (4.49 x 2.28 x 1.1″) and weighs 157 g (0.35 lb / 5.54 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X30 has external dimensions of 119 x 72 x 60 mm (4.69 x 2.83 x 2.36″) and weighs 423 g (0.93 lb / 14.92 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax RS1500 and the Fujifilm X30. Pentax RS1500 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 32mm thinner than Fujifilm X30.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax RS1500 and Fujifilm X30.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax RS1500 and Fujifilm X30.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax RS1500 is significantly lighter (266g ) than the Fujifilm X30 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the RS1500 has a big advantage over the X30 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X30's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax RS1500's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm X30 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, Pentax RS1500 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X30.
