Canon SX280 HS vs FujiFilm S200EXR

Below, we are evaluating the Canon SX280 HS versus FujiFilm S200EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies Canon and FujiFilm. The sensor resolution of the SX280 HS (12MP) and the S200EXR (12MP) is very well matched but the SX280 HS (1/2.3") and S200EXR (1/1.6") enjoy totally different sensor sizes.

The SX280 HS was unveiled 3 years later than the S200EXR and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX280 HS being a Compact camera and the FujiFilm S200EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief view of how the SX280 HS matches up versus the S200EXR with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX280 HS and FujiFilm FinePix S200EXR. The full galleries are provided at Canon SX280 HS Gallery and FujiFilm S200EXR Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon SX280 HS provides outer dimensions of 106mm x 63mm x 33mm (4.2" x 2.5" x 1.3") with a weight of 233 grams (0.51 lbs) while the FujiFilm S200EXR has proportions of 133mm x 94mm x 145mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 5.7") with a weight of 865 grams (1.91 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use during that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the SX280 HS against the S200EXR.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SX280 HS and S200EXR is 91 and 54 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX280 HS and S200EXR.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same MP but not the same sensor measurements. The SX280 HS offers the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging. The younger SX280 HS will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
