Canon S200 vs Fujifilm X30

Lets look more closely at the Canon S200 versus Fujifilm X30, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Canon and FujiFilm. The sensor resolution of the S200 (10MP) and the Fujifilm X30 (12MP) is very well matched but the S200 (1/1.7") and Fujifilm X30 (2/3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The S200 was revealed 6 months before the Fujifilm X30 and they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the S200 matches up against the Fujifilm X30 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot S200 and Fujifilm X30. The full galleries are provided at Canon S200 Gallery and Fujifilm X30 Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with during that time. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the S200 versus the Fujifilm X30.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S200 and Fujifilm X30 is 93 and 80 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by checking a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S200 and Fujifilm X30.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S200 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X30 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively.
