The S1800 was released 5 years prior to the P600 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the S1800 scores versus the P600 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for FujiFilm FinePix S1800 and Nikon Coolpix P600. The complete galleries are viewable at FujiFilm S1800 Gallery and Nikon P600 Gallery.

Generally, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by checking out a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1800 and P600.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon P600 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged S1800 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
