Fujifilm XQ2 vs Nikon S4000

Lets examine more closely at the Fujifilm XQ2 versus Nikon S4000, both Ultracompact digital cameras by brands FujiFilm and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm XQ2 (12MP) and the S4000 (12MP) is very well matched but the Fujifilm XQ2 (2/3") and S4000 (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm XQ2 was announced 5 years later than the S4000 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summation of how the Fujifilm XQ2 grades versus the S4000 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Fujifilm XQ2 and Nikon Coolpix S4000. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm XQ2 Gallery and Nikon S4000 Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera frequently, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Fujifilm XQ2 enjoys outside measurements of 100mm x 59mm x 33mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 206 grams (0.45 lbs) while the Nikon S4000 has dimensions of 95mm x 57mm x 20mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.8") with a weight of 131 grams (0.29 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have at that moment. Below is the front view proportions comparison of the Fujifilm XQ2 against the S4000.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm XQ2 and S4000 is 92 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm XQ2 and S4000.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same megapixels but not the same sensor sizing. The Fujifilm XQ2 has got the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow depth of field easier. The younger Fujifilm XQ2 will have an edge in sensor tech.
