FujiFilm F80EXR vs Olympus XZ-10

Lets look a little more closely at the FujiFilm F80EXR and Olympus XZ-10, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the F80EXR (12MP) and the XZ-10 (12MP) is fairly well matched but the F80EXR (1/2") and XZ-10 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The F80EXR was brought out 3 years earlier than the XZ-10 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a thorough comparison, below is a simple summation of how the F80EXR grades vs the XZ-10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you select at the time. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the F80EXR versus the XZ-10.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the F80EXR and XZ-10 is 92 and 91 respectively.

Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing only by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the F80EXR and XZ-10.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels but different sensor sizing. The F80EXR contains the larger sensor which should make getting shallow depth of field easier. The older F80EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
