Fujifilm Real 3D W1 vs Olympus SH-2

Here is a in-depth review of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 versus Olympus SH-2, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands FujiFilm and Olympus. There is a crucial difference between the image resolutions of the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 (10MP) and SH-2 (16MP) but they come with the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The Fujifilm Real 3D W1 was introduced 6 years earlier than the SH-2 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a concise summation of how the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 matches up versus the SH-2 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

In many cases, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and SH-2.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus SH-2 to deliver extra detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
