The Fujifilm A100 was manufactured 3 years prior to the Fujifilm HS30EXR and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Fujifilm A100 being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm HS30EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a brief overview of how the Fujifilm A100 scores vs the Fujifilm HS30EXR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix A100 and Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR. The entire galleries are available at Fujifilm A100 Gallery and Fujifilm HS30EXR Gallery.

In case you're going to carry your camera regularly, you have to think about its weight and proportions.

In many cases, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The graphic below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm A100 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.

As you have seen, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm A100 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm HS30EXR will give you more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
