Fujifilm X20 vs Olympus 1s

Lets look closer at the Fujifilm X20 vs Olympus 1s, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors FujiFilm and Olympus. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X20 (12MP) and the 1s (12MP) is relatively similar but the Fujifilm X20 (2/3") and 1s (1/1.7") boast totally different sensor sizing.

The Fujifilm X20 was unveiled 23 months earlier than the 1s which makes them a generation apart from each other. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm X20 being a Compact camera and the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving straight to a complete comparison, here is a short overview of how the Fujifilm X20 grades vs the 1s in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X20 and Olympus Stylus 1s. The full galleries are provided at Fujifilm X20 Gallery and Olympus 1s Gallery.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X20 and 1s.

To sum up, each of the cameras feature the identical resolution albeit not the same sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X20 includes the bigger sensor which should make getting shallower depth of field easier. The older Fujifilm X20 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
