FujiFilm S200EXR vs Kodak Z981

Let's take a closer look at the FujiFilm S200EXR versus Kodak Z981, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Kodak. The image resolution of the S200EXR (12MP) and the Z981 (14MP) is very well matched but the S200EXR (1/1.6") and Z981 (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizes.

The S200EXR was introduced 11 months earlier than the Z981 so they are both of a similar generation. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going through a more detailed comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the S200EXR grades versus the Z981 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In many cases, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by checking specs. The graphic underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S200EXR and Z981.

All in all, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR having a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Kodak Z981 will give you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
