Fujifilm HS35EXR vs Nikon P90

In this write-up, we are reviewing the Fujifilm HS35EXR vs Nikon P90, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies FujiFilm and Nikon. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm HS35EXR (16MP) and P90 (12MP) and the Fujifilm HS35EXR (1/2") and P90 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor size.

Photography Glossary

The Fujifilm HS35EXR was introduced 3 years later than the P90 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief view of how the Fujifilm HS35EXR matches up vs the P90 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR & Nikon Coolpix P90. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm HS35EXR Gallery & Nikon P90 Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera, you have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Fujifilm HS35EXR has outside measurements of 131mm x 97mm x 126mm (5.2" x 3.8" x 5.0") along with a weight of 687 grams (1.51 lbs) and the Nikon P90 has measurements of 114mm x 99mm x 83mm (4.5" x 3.9" x 3.3") having a weight of 400 grams (0.88 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are working with at the time. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the Fujifilm HS35EXR against the P90.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm HS35EXR and P90 is 59 and 70 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading technical specs. The photograph below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm HS35EXR and P90.

As you can tell, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm HS35EXR using its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will offer extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm HS35EXR should have an edge in sensor technology.
