FujiFilm F300EXR vs Panasonic S2

The following is a extended comparison of the FujiFilm F300EXR versus Panasonic S2, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers FujiFilm and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the F300EXR (12MP) and the S2 (14MP) is very comparable but the F300EXR (1/2") and S2 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

The F300EXR was manufactured 17 months before the S2 making the cameras a generation away from one another. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a complete comparison, below is a quick summation of how the F300EXR matches up against the S2 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have attached at that moment. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the F300EXR compared to the S2.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the F300EXR and S2 is 91 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The image here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the F300EXR and S2.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The F300EXR due to its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic S2 will provide greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged F300EXR will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
