FujiFilm S1800 vs Leica V-Lux 40

Below, we are matching up the FujiFilm S1800 vs Leica V-Lux 40, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Leica. The resolution of the S1800 (12MP) and the V-Lux 40 (14MP) is fairly close and they feature the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The S1800 was unveiled 3 years before the V-Lux 40 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the FujiFilm S1800 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Leica V-Lux 40 being a Compact camera.

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the S1800 grades against the V-Lux 40 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for FujiFilm FinePix S1800 and Leica V-Lux 40. The full galleries are available at FujiFilm S1800 Gallery and Leica V-Lux 40 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera, you will have to consider its weight and measurements.

Normally, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1800 and V-Lux 40.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Leica V-Lux 40 to render more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older S1800 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
