Canon SX730 HS vs Fujifilm X-S1

Here, we will be reviewing the Canon SX730 HS vs Fujifilm X-S1, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There is a significant difference among the sensor resolutions of the SX730 HS (20.3MP) and Fujifilm X-S1 (12MP) and the SX730 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm X-S1 (2/3") boast totally different sensor size.

The SX730 HS was revealed 5 years later than the Fujifilm X-S1 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX730 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm X-S1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the SX730 HS grades vs the Fujifilm X-S1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

When you are looking to lug around your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX730 HS provides external dimensions of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") and a weight of 300 grams (0.66 lbs) while the Fujifilm X-S1 has dimensions of 135mm x 107mm x 149mm (5.3" x 4.2" x 5.9") and a weight of 920 grams (2.03 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are employing during that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the SX730 HS versus the Fujifilm X-S1.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the SX730 HS and Fujifilm X-S1 is 88 and 52 respectively.

Generally, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX730 HS and Fujifilm X-S1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX730 HS using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Canon SX730 HS will provide more detail because of its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher SX730 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
