The S200EXR was unveiled 5 years prior to the SP-100 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the S200EXR scores versus the SP-100 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for FujiFilm FinePix S200EXR and Olympus Stylus SP-100. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm S200EXR Gallery and Olympus SP-100 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera often, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume. The FujiFilm S200EXR has got outside measurements of 133mm x 94mm x 145mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 5.7") and a weight of 865 grams (1.91 lbs) and the Olympus SP-100 has sizing of 122mm x 91mm x 133mm (4.8" x 3.6" x 5.2") along with a weight of 594 grams (1.31 lbs).

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S200EXR and SP-100.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S200EXR using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Olympus SP-100 will resolve more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
