Nikon S9500 vs Olympus FE-4000

The following is a thorough comparison of the Nikon S9500 vs Olympus FE-4000, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Nikon and Olympus. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the S9500 (18MP) and FE-4000 (12MP) but they use the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The S9500 was announced 3 years after the FE-4000 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief overview of how the S9500 scores versus the FE-4000 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix S9500 & Olympus FE-4000. The whole galleries are available at Nikon S9500 Gallery & Olympus FE-4000 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to travel with your camera regularly, you need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Nikon S9500 offers exterior measurements of 110mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") along with a weight of 205 grams (0.45 lbs) and the Olympus FE-4000 has measurements of 95mm x 57mm x 22mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.9") and a weight of 136 grams (0.30 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you have at that moment. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the S9500 versus the FE-4000.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S9500 and FE-4000 is 92 and 95 respectively.

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The image here may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S9500 and FE-4000.

As you can tell, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Nikon S9500 to provide you with greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher S9500 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
