Before going right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple view of how the Fujifilm X30 grades versus the S2000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X30 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2000. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm X30 Gallery and Sony S2000 Gallery.

Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X30 and S2000.

Clearly, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X30 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X30 will render more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X30 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
