Fujifilm X100s vs Fujifilm X100

Fuji X100s vs Fuji X100Fujifilm X100s features better sensor, Advance image processor and better video mode, See the detailed specification specification comparison review of Fujifilm X100s vs Fujifilm X100.

Fujifilm X100S vs Fujifilm X100

Sensor

The fujifilm features newly developed X-Trans CMOS sensor, the fujifilm X100s sensor is completly redesigned and features Phase AF points within the sensor

No-Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF)  – X-Trans CMOS II incorporates an original color filter array with a highly random pattern, eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). These filters are used in conventional systems to inhibit moiré at the expense of resolution. The X-Trans CMOS II array lets the sensor capture unfiltered light from the lens, achieving an unprecedented level of resolution.

ISO – The Fujifilm X100s have extended senstivity range of 100 – 25600, X100 is limited to 100

Less Noise – According to fujfilm the test says the fujfilm X100s have more details and approx 30% less noise than Fuji X100.
Due to the new OLPF-less architecture the Image captured by fujifilm X100s have more details compared to fujifilm X100 (when we see it at 100% scale), Take a look at Resolution Comparison and High-Sensitivity Comparison.

Resolution Comparsion X100s

High Sensitivity

EXR Processor II

The newly developed processor speed-up the X100s to a next level, take a look at stats

  • Fast AF performance: Fujifilm X100s features Blazing fast AF speed of 0.08 sec , compared to 0.22 sec for X100
  • Quick startup – X100s take only 0.9 sec vs X100 2 sec.
  • You get Faster continuous shooting (6 fps vs 5 fps) + Large buffer, Fujifilm X100s offers you 31 frames vs 10 frames of X100 in JPEG Large/Fine mode.
  • Less shot-to-shot time in single shot drive mode (0.5 sec vs 0.9 sec)

X100 vs X100 top

Auto Focus

The Fujifilm X100s have Phase AF + Contrast AF (in short Hybrid AF), the Fuji X100s offers 0.08 compared to Fuji X100 which offers 0.22 second of AF Speed.

During Movie mode Fujifilm X100s Phase-detect AF effective for movie shooting, AF-S focus mode available (only AF-C and MF on X100).

Video Mode

Fujfilm X100s offers you 1080p 60fps Full HD recording, with 36Mbps bitrate, X100 is limited to 720p 24fps.

other  new features

  • Auto mode ISO  increased to 6400
  • 14bit RAW Support
  • Minimum shooting distance using OVF reduced to 50cm (X100 have 80cm)
  • Minimum focus – normal shooting distance is now 21cm (X100 have 40cm)

Canon 7D successor [7D Mark II] may not appear soon

Canon 7D Mark II
Canon 7D successor [7D Mark II] may not appear soon, dc.watch (japanese magzine) interviewd Canon managing director Tian Rong, read the main points of the interview translated via google

  • Last year was the Year of top reinforcement in each product category, the Prestige model. I believe that the technologies developed in the Prestige model per each genre, increasing the sophistication of the feature, this year, we will try to fall into the lower models.
  • purely to pursue while maintaining high-quality and high-sensitivity performance EOS has, how far can be reduced. This is the theme of the first one of the first (EOS M). However, I think the future will continue to expand because variation in the mirror-less machine, various types of product will come out.
  • (The successor to the EOS 7D that does not appear immediately) is per premonition. Although the development of the successor of course, it is “the product innovations put some kind.” Instead of that issue as a successor to the product that you spec up a little, it will be what has evolved towards a new area.However, it is not the story of the day so far.

As far as I can understand the Canon 7D successor (7D Mark II) is not coming at CP+ show, but sure we will see a major change in sensor and core specification, if you have better translation write us on comment box / or email us at contact[at]thenewcamera.com

Fujifilm HS50 vs Fujifilm SL1000

Fujifilm HS50 vs Fujifilm SL1000Fujifilm HS50 vs Fujifilm SL1000 specification comparison review, Fuji HS50 features newly developed Hybrid CMOS sensor  with 41.7X zoom lens and world fastest AF time of 0.05 sec on the other hand SL1000 features 50X Megazoom lens with 16Mp BSI CMOS sensor and contrast detect AF system with AF speed of 0.20 Sec, take a look at details comparison review below

Fujifilm HS50 vs SL1000

Sensor:

Both the sensor have same resolution but

  1. HS50 sensor is bit bigger compared to SL1000
  2. HS50 sensor have AF points so overall AF performance is better, HS50 allows you to use face tracking AF even in video mode.
  3. SL1000 features BSI CMOS sensor and bit better lower/base ISO range.

AF Type/Speed

The HS50 features Hybrid AF system (Contrast detect + Phase AF system) and the SL1000 features contrast detect AF system.

  • The AF Speed of Fuji HS50 is 0.05 sec
  • The AF speed of Fuji SL1000 is 0.2 seconds in fastest conditions

Optical Zoom

Fujifilm SL1000 features 50X optical Zoom, the HS50 is limited to 41.7X only.

shutter

FujiHS50 features better shutter range with Hybrid shutter (Electronic and mechanical), SL1000 features mech. shutter with limited range.

Video

Both camera full HD movie recording (1080p) at up to 60 frames per second.

Video AF – Fujifilm HS50 features phase detection AF while recording video.

Fuji HS50 vs Fuji SL1000

other features

  • Fuji HS50 features bit better Continuous shot mode.
  • HS50 have Fully articulated display whereas SL1000 have tilting display.

Conclusion

Fuji HS50 have advance Sensor design
Fuji HS50 have Hybrid AF system.
Fuji SL1000 have more zoom range (8.3X)
Fuji HS50 better shutter range
Fuji HS50 features Phase AF system can be used while recording video.
Fuji SL1000 cost less than Fuji HS50 (you save $150 if you buy SL1000)

Fujifilm SL1000 is a feature rich camera with 50X optical zoom but missing advance core specification like Fuji HS50, If you want to buy a Megazoom camera SL1000 is best for you but based on overall specification comparison, Fuji HS50 is a clear winner.
