The Fujifilm S1500 was announced 4 years before the Fujifilm T550 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Fujifilm S1500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Fujifilm T550 being a Compact camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the Fujifilm S1500 matches up versus the Fujifilm T550 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix S1500 and Fujifilm FinePix T550. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm S1500 Gallery and Fujifilm T550 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera, you should consider its weight and volume.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use during that time. Following is a front view size comparison of the Fujifilm S1500 compared to the Fujifilm T550.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm S1500 and Fujifilm T550 is 82 and 95 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements just by viewing specifications. The visual below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1500 and Fujifilm T550.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm T550 to render greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1500 will be behind in sensor innovation.
