Canon G7 X MII vs Fujifilm XF10

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Canon G7 X MII vs Fujifilm XF10, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by brands Canon and FujiFilm. The image resolution of the G7 X MII (20MP) and the Fujifilm XF10 (24MP) is relatively close but the G7 X MII (1") and Fujifilm XF10 (APS-C) come with totally different sensor dimensions.

The G7 X MII was unveiled 3 years before the Fujifilm XF10 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the G7 X MII scores versus the Fujifilm XF10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II and Fujifilm XF10. The full galleries are provided at Canon G7 X MII Gallery and Fujifilm XF10 Gallery.

Usually, its tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G7 X MII and Fujifilm XF10.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G7 X MII with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm XF10 will provide you with more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older G7 X MII will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
