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 HX9V and Fujifilm F800EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX9V has external dimensions of 105 x 59 x 34 mm (4.13 x 2.32 x 1.34″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 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 HX9V and the Fujifilm F800EXR. Sony HX9V has the same height with Fujifilm F800EXR. On the other hand, with a width of 59mm, it is 4 narrower and also with a thickness of 34mm, it is 2mm thinner than Fujifilm F800EXR.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX9V 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 13g lighter than the Sony HX9V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V 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.
