The Fujifilm XQ2 was unveiled 4 years later than the SH100 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before getting through a in depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the Fujifilm XQ2 grades vs the SH100 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm XQ2 and Samsung SH100. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm XQ2 Gallery and Samsung SH100 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specs. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm XQ2 and SH100.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XQ2 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung SH100 will render extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm XQ2 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
