Casio EX-FH100 vs Fujifilm X20

Let's look more closely at the Casio EX-FH100 vs Fujifilm X20, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Casio and FujiFilm. The sensor resolution of the EX-FH100 (10MP) and the Fujifilm X20 (12MP) is fairly well matched but the EX-FH100 (1/2.3") and Fujifilm X20 (2/3") provide totally different sensor size.

The EX-FH100 was unveiled 3 years earlier than the Fujifilm X20 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting into a in-depth comparison, here is a short summary of how the EX-FH100 scores vs the Fujifilm X20 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Casio Exilim EX-FH100 and Fujifilm X20. The full galleries are provided at Casio EX-FH100 Gallery and Fujifilm X20 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera regularly, you need to think about its weight and proportions. The Casio EX-FH100 provides physical dimensions of 104mm x 60mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 201 grams (0.44 lbs) and the Fujifilm X20 has measurements of 117mm x 70mm x 57mm (4.6" x 2.8" x 2.2") and a weight of 353 grams (0.78 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the EX-FH100 vs the Fujifilm X20.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the EX-FH100 and Fujifilm X20 is 92 and 83 respectively.

Often, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking technical specs. The image here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FH100 and Fujifilm X20.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FH100 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X20 will resolve greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged EX-FH100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
