Canon G15 vs Fujifilm JV150

Let's look much closer at the Canon G15 and Fujifilm JV150, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. The sensor resolution of the G15 (12MP) and the Fujifilm JV150 (14MP) is relatively comparable but the G15 (1/1.7") and Fujifilm JV150 (1/2.3") provide different sensor measurements.

The G15 was brought out 2 years after the Fujifilm JV150 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the G15 grades vs the Fujifilm JV150 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot G15 and Fujifilm FinePix JV150. The entire galleries are available at Canon G15 Gallery and Fujifilm JV150 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to carry around your camera, you'll have to consider its weight and dimensions. The Canon G15 features physical measurements of 107mm x 76mm x 40mm (4.2" x 3.0" x 1.6") and a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Fujifilm JV150 has dimensions of 93mm x 55mm x 21mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.8") with a weight of 126 grams (0.28 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the G15 vs the Fujifilm JV150.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the G15 and Fujifilm JV150 is 86 and 96 respectively.

Generally, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes merely by going through specs. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G15 and Fujifilm JV150.

All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G15 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm JV150 will show greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G15 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
