Fujifilm S1 vs Nikon P100

Lets look a little more closely at the Fujifilm S1 versus Nikon P100, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by brands FujiFilm and Nikon. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the Fujifilm S1 (16MP) and P100 (10MP) but they come with the same exact sensor size (1/2.3").

The Fujifilm S1 was released 3 years after the P100 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the Fujifilm S1 scores versus the P100 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm FinePix S1 and Nikon Coolpix P100. The complete galleries are available at Fujifilm S1 Gallery and Nikon P100 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to carry around your camera frequently, you'll have to take into account its weight and size. The Fujifilm S1 features external measurements of 133mm x 91mm x 110mm (5.2" x 3.6" x 4.3") having a weight of 680 grams (1.50 lbs) whilst the Nikon P100 has specifications of 114mm x 83mm x 99mm (4.5" x 3.3" x 3.9") accompanied by a weight of 481 grams (1.06 lbs).

Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1 and P100.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm S1 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm S1 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
