Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WS80, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the X30.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm X30's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax WS80'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 WS80 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X30.
