The HS10 was unveiled 13 months earlier than the PX which makes them a generation away from one another. The two cameras feature different body design with the FujiFilm HS10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Ricoh PX being a Compact camera.

Before we go right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short summation of how the HS10 matches up versus the PX with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for FujiFilm FinePix HS10 and Ricoh PX. The full galleries are available at FujiFilm HS10 Gallery and Ricoh PX Gallery.

Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The image here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the HS10 and PX.

As you can tell, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Ricoh PX to give extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
