Canon 1D MII N vs Fujifilm X30

Following is a in depth comparison of the Canon 1D MII N vs Fujifilm X30, one is a Pro DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a sizeable gap between the image resolutions of the 1D MII N (8MP) and Fujifilm X30 (12MP) and the 1D MII N (APS-H) and Fujifilm X30 (2/3") provide totally different sensor size.

The 1D MII N was brought out 10 years prior to the Fujifilm X30 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 1D MII N being a Large SLR camera and the Fujifilm X30 being a Compact camera.

Before diving into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summary of how the 1D MII N matches up vs the Fujifilm X30 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1D Mark II N and Fujifilm X30. The entire galleries are available at Canon 1D MII N Gallery and Fujifilm X30 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry around your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon 1D MII N offers exterior measurements of 156mm x 158mm x 80mm (6.1" x 6.2" x 3.1") and a weight of 1565 grams (3.45 lbs) and the Fujifilm X30 has proportions of 119mm x 72mm x 60mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 2.4") along with a weight of 423 grams (0.93 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is a front view dimension comparison of the 1D MII N against the Fujifilm X30.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1D MII N and Fujifilm X30 is 50 and 80 respectively.

Normally, it's tough to see the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D MII N and Fujifilm X30.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1D MII N due to its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X30 will give more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged 1D MII N is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
