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 Sony HX30V and Fujifilm F800EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX30V has external dimensions of 107 x 62 x 35 mm (4.21 x 2.44 x 1.38″) and weighs 254 g (0.56 lb / 8.96 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm F800EXR has external dimensions of 105 x 63 x 36 mm (4.13 x 2.48 x 1.42″) and weighs 232 g (0.51 lb / 8.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony HX30V and the Fujifilm F800EXR. Sony HX30V is 1mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Fujifilm F800EXR but it is also 2mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony HX30V and Fujifilm F800EXR.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX30V and Fujifilm F800EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm F800EXR is 22g lighter than the Sony HX30V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V nor Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Sony HX30V and Fujifilm F800EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
