The Fujifilm S2000HD was launched 6 years prior to the LZ40 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the Fujifilm S2000HD grades versus the LZ40 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD & Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ40. The complete galleries are viewable at Fujifilm S2000HD Gallery & Panasonic LZ40 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera regularly, you need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S2000HD and LZ40.

Clearly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Panasonic LZ40 to provide greater detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
