Canon 5D MII vs Fujifilm S8400W

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon 5D MII versus Fujifilm S8400W, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There is a big difference between the resolutions of the 5D MII (21MP) and Fujifilm S8400W (16MP) and the 5D MII (Full frame) and Fujifilm S8400W (1/2.3") boast different sensor sizes.

The 5D MII was unveiled 5 years earlier than the Fujifilm S8400W and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 5D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Fujifilm S8400W being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting into a detailed comparison, here is a brief summation of how the 5D MII scores versus the Fujifilm S8400W with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Fujifilm FinePix S8400W. The full galleries are available at Canon 5D MII Gallery and Fujifilm S8400W Gallery.

If you're looking to carry your camera often, you should factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 5D MII offers external dimensions of 152mm x 114mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.5" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 850 grams (1.87 lbs) and the Fujifilm S8400W has proportions of 123mm x 87mm x 116mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.6") along with a weight of 670 grams (1.48 lbs).

Often, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over specs. The visual below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D MII and Fujifilm S8400W.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 5D MII using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 5D MII will deliver more detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older 5D MII is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
