The Fujifilm Z35 was unveiled 3 years earlier than the S6200 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick summation of how the Fujifilm Z35 scores versus the S6200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix Z35 and Nikon Coolpix S6200. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm Z35 Gallery and Nikon S6200 Gallery.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm Z35 and S6200 is 95 and 94 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The pic below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm Z35 and S6200.

As you can tell, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S6200 to resolve more detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z35 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
