Canon 5D MIV vs Fujifilm S8600

Below is a in depth comparison of the Canon 5D MIV and Fujifilm S8600, 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 sensor resolutions of the 5D MIV (30MP) and Fujifilm S8600 (16MP) and the 5D MIV (Full frame) and Fujifilm S8600 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor size.

The 5D MIV was announced 2 years later than the Fujifilm S8600 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 5D MIV being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Fujifilm S8600 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going into a full comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 5D MIV grades versus the Fujifilm S8600 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and Fujifilm FinePix S8600. The whole galleries are available at Canon 5D MIV Gallery and Fujifilm S8600 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing specifications. The graphic below will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D MIV and Fujifilm S8600.

To sum up, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 5D MIV having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 5D MIV will deliver greater detail with its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern 5D MIV will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
