Canon SX150 IS vs Fujifilm S1

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon SX150 IS versus Fujifilm S1, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by brands Canon and FujiFilm. The resolution of the SX150 IS (14MP) and the Fujifilm S1 (16MP) is very well matched and both cameras posses the same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX150 IS was introduced 20 months before the Fujifilm S1 making them a generation away from one another. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX150 IS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm S1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving straight to a full comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the SX150 IS matches up versus the Fujifilm S1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX150 IS and Fujifilm FinePix S1. The whole galleries are available at Canon SX150 IS Gallery and Fujifilm S1 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and proportions.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX150 IS and Fujifilm S1 is 86 and 60 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX150 IS and Fujifilm S1.

Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm S1 to give more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX150 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
