Casio EX-100 vs Fujifilm X100

Let's look a bit more closely at the Casio EX-100 vs Fujifilm X100, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Casio and FujiFilm. The resolution of the EX-100 (12MP) and the Fujifilm X100 (12MP) is pretty similar but the EX-100 (1/1.7") and Fujifilm X100 (APS-C) come with totally different sensor dimensions.

The EX-100 was brought out 2 years later than the Fujifilm X100 and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Casio EX-100 being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm X100 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the EX-100 grades versus the Fujifilm X100 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anybody who is looking to lug around your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-100 and Fujifilm X100.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same resolution albeit not the same sensor measurements. The EX-100 contains the tinier sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult. The more recent EX-100 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
