Fujifilm S1500 vs Olympus SP-620 UZ

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Fujifilm S1500 versus Olympus SP-620 UZ, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by brands FujiFilm and Olympus. There is a large difference among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm S1500 (10MP) and SP-620 UZ (16MP) but they enjoy the same exact sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The Fujifilm S1500 was brought out 3 years prior to the SP-620 UZ which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Fujifilm S1500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Olympus SP-620 UZ being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a brief view of how the Fujifilm S1500 scores vs the SP-620 UZ in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

If you're planning to carry around your camera, you will need to think about its weight and volume.

Generally, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching specifications. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S1500 and SP-620 UZ.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Olympus SP-620 UZ to render greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1500 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
