The Fujifilm Real 3D W3 was manufactured 6 years earlier than the SH-3 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a short view of how the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 scores versus the SH-3 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 and Olympus Stylus SH-3. The entire galleries are viewable at Fujifilm Real 3D W3 Gallery and Olympus SH-3 Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and volume. The Fujifilm Real 3D W3 has physical measurements of 124mm x 66mm x 28mm (4.9" x 2.6" x 1.1") and a weight of 230 grams (0.51 lbs) and the Olympus SH-3 has sizing of 109mm x 63mm x 42mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.7") with a weight of 271 grams (0.60 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you choose at that moment. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 versus the SH-3.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and SH-3 is 90 and 88 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and SH-3.

As you can see, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus SH-3 to give extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W3 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
