Canon 1D vs Fujifilm S2 Pro

Here, we will be reviewing the Canon 1D vs Fujifilm S2 Pro, both Pro DSLR cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the 1D (4MP) and Fujifilm S2 Pro (6MP) and the 1D (APS-H) and Fujifilm S2 Pro (APS-C) have different sensor measurements.

The 1D was revealed 7 months prior to the Fujifilm S2 Pro and they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before delving straight to a full comparison, here is a brief view of how the 1D matches up against the Fujifilm S2 Pro in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS-1D and Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro. The full galleries are provided at Canon 1D Gallery and Fujifilm S2 Pro Gallery.

In case you're planning to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to factor its weight and proportions. The Canon 1D offers exterior measurements of 156mm x 158mm x 80mm (6.1" x 6.2" x 3.1") and a weight of 1585 grams (3.49 lbs) while the Fujifilm S2 Pro has measurements of 142mm x 131mm x 80mm (5.6" x 5.2" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 850 grams (1.87 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilizing during that time. Below is a front view scale comparison of the 1D vs the Fujifilm S2 Pro.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1D and Fujifilm S2 Pro is 50 and 56 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing specifications. The picture below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm S2 Pro will show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged 1D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
