The Fujifilm S2000HD was manufactured 3 years earlier than the VR-330 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm S2000HD being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Olympus VR-330 being a Compact camera.

Before going right into a thorough comparison, here is a short introduction of how the Fujifilm S2000HD grades vs the VR-330 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD and Olympus VR-330. The entire galleries are viewable at Fujifilm S2000HD Gallery and Olympus VR-330 Gallery.

Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S2000HD and VR-330.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Olympus VR-330 to provide you with extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
