The EX-ZS5 was introduced 3 years before the Fujifilm XQ1 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before delving right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the EX-ZS5 grades against the Fujifilm XQ1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Casio Exilim EX-ZS5 and Fujifilm XQ1. The whole galleries are available at Casio EX-ZS5 Gallery and Fujifilm XQ1 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and volume.

Normally, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The photograph here will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZS5 and Fujifilm XQ1.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZS5 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-ZS5 will show more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-ZS5 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
