Fujifilm HS35EXR vs Leica V-Lux 3

The following is a thorough review of the Fujifilm HS35EXR versus Leica V-Lux 3, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies FujiFilm and Leica. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the Fujifilm HS35EXR (16MP) and V-Lux 3 (12MP) and the Fujifilm HS35EXR (1/2") and V-Lux 3 (1/2.3") possess totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm HS35EXR was announced 14 months after the V-Lux 3 making the cameras a generation away from one another. Both cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting in to a detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the Fujifilm HS35EXR scores against the V-Lux 3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at that time. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the Fujifilm HS35EXR compared to the V-Lux 3.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm HS35EXR and V-Lux 3 is 59 and 67 respectively.

Normally, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at a spec sheet. The image below will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm HS35EXR and V-Lux 3.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm HS35EXR having a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will give more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm HS35EXR is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
