The Z700EXR was announced 10 years prior to the S1R and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the FujiFilm Z700EXR being a Ultracompact camera and the Panasonic S1R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a complete comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the Z700EXR scores vs the S1R in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for FujiFilm FinePix Z700EXR & Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R. The whole galleries are available at FujiFilm Z700EXR Gallery & Panasonic S1R Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and measurements.

Often, it can be hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z700EXR and S1R.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z700EXR having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic S1R will give more detail with its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older Z700EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
