The Fujifilm A100 was unveiled 5 years prior to the P7800 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the Fujifilm A100 grades vs the P7800 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm FinePix A100 & Nikon Coolpix P7800. The full galleries are provided at Fujifilm A100 Gallery & Nikon P7800 Gallery.

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm A100 and P7800.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm A100 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon P7800 will result in more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
