Fujifilm X30 vs Nikon L120

Let's look a little more in depth at the Fujifilm X30 and Nikon L120, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors FujiFilm and Nikon. The image resolution of the Fujifilm X30 (12MP) and the L120 (14MP) is very comparable but the Fujifilm X30 (2/3") and L120 (1/2.3") boast different sensor dimensions.

The Fujifilm X30 was introduced 3 years after the L120 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the Fujifilm X30 grades against the L120 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm X30 and Nikon Coolpix L120. The whole galleries are provided at Fujifilm X30 Gallery and Nikon L120 Gallery.

Normally, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X30 and L120.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X30 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon L120 will show greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X30 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
