FujiFilm S200EXR vs Leica V-Lux 3

Following is a in-depth review of the FujiFilm S200EXR versus Leica V-Lux 3, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors FujiFilm and Leica. The sensor resolution of the S200EXR (12MP) and the V-Lux 3 (12MP) is relatively well matched but the S200EXR (1/1.6") and V-Lux 3 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor measurements.

The S200EXR was announced 3 years prior to the V-Lux 3 which is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving through a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick summation of how the S200EXR grades against the V-Lux 3 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have chosen at the time. Underneath is the front view proportions comparison of the S200EXR versus the V-Lux 3.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the S200EXR and V-Lux 3 is 54 and 67 respectively.

Generally, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through specs. The picture here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S200EXR and V-Lux 3.

All in all, both the cameras offer the same exact MP albeit not the same sensor sizes. The S200EXR contains the bigger sensor which should make achieving bokeh less difficult. The more aged S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
