FujiFilm S1800 vs Olympus 1s

Its time to look much closer at the FujiFilm S1800 vs Olympus 1s, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the S1800 (12MP) and the 1s (12MP) is very close but the S1800 (1/2.3") and 1s (1/1.7") posses different sensor measurements.

The S1800 was launched 6 years before the 1s which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving right into a detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the S1800 grades against the 1s with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix S1800 and Olympus Stylus 1s. The complete galleries are viewable at FujiFilm S1800 Gallery and Olympus 1s Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera often, you'll need to factor in its weight and measurements. The FujiFilm S1800 comes with external dimensions of 110mm x 73mm x 81mm (4.3" x 2.9" x 3.2") accompanied by a weight of 337 grams (0.74 lbs) and the Olympus 1s has proportions of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") and a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are working with at that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the S1800 vs the 1s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S1800 and 1s is 78 and 79 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by researching a spec sheet. The image here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1800 and 1s.

As you can see, the 2 cameras feature the identical megapixels but different sensor sizes. The S1800 uses the smaller sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult. The more aged S1800 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
