Fujifilm S1 vs Fujifilm S3 Pro

Let's examine more in depth at the Fujifilm S1 and Fujifilm S3 Pro, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro DSLR and both are manufactured by FujiFilm. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm S1 (16MP) and Fujifilm S3 Pro (6MP) and the Fujifilm S1 (1/2.3") and Fujifilm S3 Pro (APS-C) come with different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm S1 was revealed 8 years later than the Fujifilm S3 Pro and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Fujifilm S1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Fujifilm S3 Pro being a Large SLR camera.

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a short view of how the Fujifilm S1 grades versus the Fujifilm S3 Pro with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing specs. The visual underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S1 and Fujifilm S3 Pro.

All in all, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S1 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Fujifilm S1 will result in extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S1 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
