Canon M100 vs Fujifilm HS30EXR

Here, we are analyzing the Canon M100 versus Fujifilm HS30EXR, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Canon and FujiFilm. There is a significant difference between the resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and Fujifilm HS30EXR (16MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and Fujifilm HS30EXR (1/2") provide different sensor sizes.

In many cases, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the M100 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M100 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon M100 will offer more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger M100 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
