FujiFilm F300EXR vs Panasonic XS1

Here, we are looking at the FujiFilm F300EXR versus Panasonic XS1, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Small Sensor Compact by brands FujiFilm and Panasonic. There exists a noticeable gap between the image resolutions of the F300EXR (12MP) and XS1 (16MP) and the F300EXR (1/2") and XS1 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor measurements.

The F300EXR was unveiled 3 years prior to the XS1 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the F300EXR matches up against the XS1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix F300EXR & Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm F300EXR Gallery & Panasonic XS1 Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and proportions. The FujiFilm F300EXR comes with external dimensions of 104mm x 59mm x 33mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.3") having a weight of 215 grams (0.47 lbs) and the Panasonic XS1 has measurements of 94mm x 54mm x 14mm (3.7" x 2.1" x 0.6") accompanied by a weight of 103 grams (0.23 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are employing at the time. Underneath is a front view proportions comparison of the F300EXR against the XS1.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the F300EXR and XS1 is 91 and 97 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the F300EXR and XS1.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Panasonic XS1 will give greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older F300EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
