Canon A480 vs Fujifilm X-T1

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon A480 vs Fujifilm X-T1, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the A480 (10MP) and Fujifilm X-T1 (16MP) and the A480 (1/2.3") and Fujifilm X-T1 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor measurements.

The A480 was unveiled 6 years earlier than the Fujifilm X-T1 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon A480 being a Ultracompact camera and the Fujifilm X-T1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the A480 matches up vs the Fujifilm X-T1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot A480 and Fujifilm X-T1. The full galleries are viewable at Canon A480 Gallery and Fujifilm X-T1 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilizing at that moment. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the A480 versus the Fujifilm X-T1.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A480 and Fujifilm X-T1 is 94 and 79 respectively.

Typically, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking specifications. The visual here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A480 and Fujifilm X-T1.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A480 using its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Fujifilm X-T1 will give extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older A480 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
