FujiFilm Z70 vs Nikon S6900

Here, we will be looking at the FujiFilm Z70 versus Nikon S6900, both Ultracompact digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Nikon. There exists a sizable gap between the image resolutions of the Z70 (12MP) and S6900 (16MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The Z70 was introduced 6 years prior to the S6900 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before getting straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short overview of how the Z70 grades against the S6900 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you're going to lug around your camera often, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have at that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the Z70 versus the S6900.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Z70 and S6900 is 96 and 93 respectively.

Typically, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through specs. The photograph below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Z70 and S6900.

All in all, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Nikon S6900 to give greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older Z70 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
