The Fujifilm Real 3D W1 was introduced 4 years earlier than the Fujifilm X20 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick view of how the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 matches up versus the Fujifilm X20 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use at that time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and the Fujifilm X20.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and Fujifilm X20 is 90 and 83 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and Fujifilm X20.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm Real 3D W1 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X20 will result in extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W1 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
