FujiFilm S200EXR vs Fujifilm S2 Pro

Below is a extended review of the FujiFilm S200EXR and Fujifilm S2 Pro, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro DSLR and both are designed by FujiFilm. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the S200EXR (12MP) and Fujifilm S2 Pro (6MP) and the S200EXR (1/1.6") and Fujifilm S2 Pro (APS-C) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The S200EXR was announced 7 years later than the Fujifilm S2 Pro and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the FujiFilm S200EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Fujifilm S2 Pro being a Large SLR camera.

Before we go straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief summary of how the S200EXR grades versus the Fujifilm S2 Pro in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S200EXR and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the FujiFilm S200EXR will resolve more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent S200EXR will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
