Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Fujifilm XQ1, which was introduced in November 2013 is a Ultracompact camera with a 12.0MP 2/3-inch sensor whereas Nikon D4s, which was introduced in February 2014 is a Pro DSLR camera with a 16.0MP Full frame sensor. There is only 3 months difference between XQ1 and D4s so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Comparing a DSLR camera to a Fixed Lens camera is not an easy task but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison. Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Fujifilm XQ1 is ranked
#1 out of 152 Ultracompact cameras with an overall score of 51 whereas Nikon D4s is ranked
#6 out of 36 Pro DSLR cameras with an overall score of 71.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Fujifilm XQ1 and Nikon D4s before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Fujifilm XQ1 and Nikon D4s compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
