Fujifilm X-S1 vs Nikon A1000

Its time to look more closely at the Fujifilm X-S1 versus Nikon A1000, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies FujiFilm and Nikon. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-S1 (12MP) and A1000 (16MP) and the Fujifilm X-S1 (2/3") and A1000 (1/2.3") have totally different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm X-S1 was announced 8 years prior to the A1000 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm X-S1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon A1000 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the Fujifilm X-S1 matches up against the A1000 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-S1 and Nikon Coolpix A1000. The whole galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X-S1 Gallery and Nikon A1000 Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Fujifilm X-S1 has got external dimensions of 135mm x 107mm x 149mm (5.3" x 4.2" x 5.9") accompanied by a weight of 920 grams (2.03 lbs) while the Nikon A1000 has proportions of 114mm x 72mm x 41mm (4.5" x 2.8" x 1.6") having a weight of 330 grams (0.73 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you select at the time. Below is a front view physical size comparison of the Fujifilm X-S1 and the A1000.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-S1 and A1000 is 52 and 86 respectively.

In many cases, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing technical specs. The picture here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-S1 and A1000.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-S1 using its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon A1000 will deliver more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-S1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
