Fujifilm S8400W vs Ricoh CX1

Here, we will be reviewing the Fujifilm S8400W versus Ricoh CX1, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors FujiFilm and Ricoh. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm S8400W (16MP) and CX1 (9MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The Fujifilm S8400W was manufactured 4 years later than the CX1 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm S8400W being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Ricoh CX1 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the Fujifilm S8400W grades versus the CX1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S8400W and CX1.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm S8400W to result in greater detail due to its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm S8400W is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
