FujiFilm T200 vs Panasonic LF1

In this write-up, we will be evaluating the FujiFilm T200 and Panasonic LF1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies FujiFilm and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the T200 (14MP) and the LF1 (12MP) is pretty well matched but the T200 (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") enjoy totally different sensor sizing.

The T200 was unveiled 3 years prior to the LF1 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summary of how the T200 matches up versus the LF1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for FujiFilm FinePix T200 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm T200 Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions. The FujiFilm T200 provides external dimensions of 97mm x 57mm x 28mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 1.1") with a weight of 151 grams (0.33 lbs) while the Panasonic LF1 has measurements of 103mm x 62mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 192 grams (0.42 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have attached at that moment. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the T200 compared to the LF1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the T200 and LF1 is 94 and 92 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T200 and LF1.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The T200 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm T200 will give you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older T200 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
