Fujifilm X100S vs Sony RX100 V

Let's look a little more in depth at the Fujifilm X100S versus Sony RX100 V, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by companies FujiFilm and Sony. The resolution of the Fujifilm X100S (16MP) and the RX100 V (20MP) is very close but the Fujifilm X100S (APS-C) and RX100 V (1") come with different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm X100S was brought out 4 years before the RX100 V which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the Fujifilm X100S grades against the RX100 V when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X100S and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V. The entire galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X100S Gallery and Sony RX100 V Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry around your camera regularly, you're going to have to think about its weight and measurements. The Fujifilm X100S offers physical measurements of 127mm x 74mm x 54mm (5.0" x 2.9" x 2.1") and a weight of 445 grams (0.98 lbs) and the Sony RX100 V has proportions of 102mm x 58mm x 41mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.6") having a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you select at the time. Following is the front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm X100S versus the RX100 V.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X100S and RX100 V is 80 and 89 respectively.

Often, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X100S and RX100 V.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X100S featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Sony RX100 V will render extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100S will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
