Fujifilm S2000HD vs Olympus 1s

Here is a thorough review of the Fujifilm S2000HD vs Olympus 1s, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies FujiFilm and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm S2000HD (10MP) and the 1s (12MP) is fairly well matched but the Fujifilm S2000HD (1/2.3") and 1s (1/1.7") use totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm S2000HD was released 7 years prior to the 1s and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving through a detailed comparison, below is a simple overview of how the Fujifilm S2000HD scores against the 1s in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD and Olympus Stylus 1s. The complete galleries are viewable at Fujifilm S2000HD Gallery and Olympus 1s Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Fujifilm S2000HD has external dimensions of 111mm x 79mm x 76mm (4.4" x 3.1" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 426 grams (0.94 lbs) while the Olympus 1s has measurements of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") with a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you choose at the time. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm S2000HD against the 1s.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm S2000HD and 1s is 75 and 79 respectively.

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The visual here will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S2000HD and 1s.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S2000HD due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Olympus 1s will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
