The Fujifilm HS50 EXR was announced 4 years prior to the RX10 III and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving through a in-depth comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the Fujifilm HS50 EXR grades versus the RX10 III in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by checking a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm HS50 EXR and RX10 III.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm HS50 EXR having a tinier sensor will make getting bokeh tougher and the Sony RX10 III will resolve more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm HS50 EXR is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
