The Z70 was unveiled 6 years before the Fujifilm XQ2 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the Z70 scores versus the Fujifilm XQ2 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for FujiFilm FinePix Z70 and Fujifilm XQ2. The full galleries are viewable at FujiFilm Z70 Gallery and Fujifilm XQ2 Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera regularly, you should factor its weight and size. The FujiFilm Z70 provides external dimensions of 91mm x 57mm x 20mm (3.6" x 2.2" x 0.8") having a weight of 124 grams (0.27 lbs) and the Fujifilm XQ2 has specifications of 100mm x 59mm x 33mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.3") having a weight of 206 grams (0.45 lbs).

Oftentimes, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing merely by researching specifications. The visual here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Z70 and Fujifilm XQ2.

To sum up, both of these cameras feature the identical resolution but different sensor sizing. The Z70 has the smaller sensor which will make obtaining shallower DOF more challenging. The older Z70 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
