The S2500HD was revealed 4 years before the 1 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief overview of how the S2500HD scores versus the 1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for FujiFilm FinePix S2500HD and Olympus Stylus 1. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm S2500HD Gallery and Olympus 1 Gallery.
