Canon D30 vs FujiFilm F70EXR

The following is a detailed overview of the Canon D30 and FujiFilm F70EXR, one is a Waterproof and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. The image resolution of the D30 (12MP) and the F70EXR (10MP) is fairly close but the D30 (1/2.3") and F70EXR (1/2") use different sensor measurements.

The D30 was released 4 years after the F70EXR which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a full comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the D30 grades versus the F70EXR in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot D30 and FujiFilm FinePix F70EXR. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon D30 Gallery and FujiFilm F70EXR Gallery.

Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D30 and F70EXR.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D30 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon D30 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger D30 provides an edge in sensor tech.
