Fujifilm X100 vs Zeiss ZX1

Let's look more closely at the Fujifilm X100 versus Zeiss ZX1, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals FujiFilm and Zeiss. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X100 (12MP) and ZX1 (37MP) and the Fujifilm X100 (APS-C) and ZX1 (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm X100 was announced 8 years earlier than the ZX1 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a short summation of how the Fujifilm X100 matches up against the ZX1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm FinePix X100 and Zeiss ZX1. The whole galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X100 Gallery and Zeiss ZX1 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and size. The Fujifilm X100 features outer measurements of 126mm x 75mm x 54mm (5.0" x 3.0" x 2.1") accompanied by a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) while the Zeiss ZX1 has specifications of 142mm x 93mm x 46mm (5.6" x 3.7" x 1.8") having a weight of 800 grams (1.76 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you select during that time. Underneath is a front view proportions comparison of the Fujifilm X100 versus the ZX1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm X100 and ZX1 is 80 and 67 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X100 and ZX1.

As you can see, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X100 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Zeiss ZX1 will give extra detail with its extra 25MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
