Canon N vs Fujifilm Z1000EXR

Here, we are looking at the Canon N and Fujifilm Z1000EXR, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the N (12MP) and Fujifilm Z1000EXR (16MP) and the N (1/2.3") and Fujifilm Z1000EXR (1/2") posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The N was released 13 months after the Fujifilm Z1000EXR making them a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick summary of how the N matches up against the Fujifilm Z1000EXR when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot N and Fujifilm FinePix Z1000EXR. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon N Gallery and Fujifilm Z1000EXR Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Sometimes, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through specs. The pic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the N and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.

All in all, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The N featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger N is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
