FujiFilm HS10 vs Nikon D1H

Here is a extended overview of the FujiFilm HS10 vs Nikon D1H, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro DSLR by competitors FujiFilm and Nikon. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the HS10 (10MP) and D1H (3MP) and the HS10 (1/2.3") and D1H (APS-C) boast totally different sensor sizes.

The HS10 was announced 8 years later than the D1H and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the FujiFilm HS10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon D1H being a Large SLR camera.

Before we go right into a more detailed comparison, here is a short highlight of how the HS10 grades vs the D1H with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for FujiFilm FinePix HS10 and Nikon D1H. The whole galleries are available at FujiFilm HS10 Gallery and Nikon D1H Gallery.

More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through technical specs. The photograph here will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and D1H.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The HS10 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the FujiFilm HS10 will show more detail with its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The newer HS10 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
