Weather Sealing

Unfortunately neither Canon PowerShot SX620 HS nor Fujifilm X100S provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections:
Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing

LCD Screen Size and Features

Canon SX620 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X100S's 2.8" screen.

Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.


Canon SX620 HS vs Fujifilm X100S: Sensor Comparison

Canon SX620 HS has a 20.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm) ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 4+ processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X100S has a 16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS II sensor and features EXR II processor.

One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X100S's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the SX620 HS and X100S sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon SX620 HS and Fujifilm X100S Cameras


As seen above, Fujifilm X100S has a 13.3x Larger sensor area than Canon SX620 HS. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Canon SX620 HS vs Fujifilm X100S Lens Specs Comparison

Canon SX620 HS features a 25-625 mm F3.2-6.6 25× zoom lens whereas Fujifilm X100S features a 35 mm F2.0 Prime lens.

It is not easy to compare a prime lens with a zoom lens. Canon SX620 HS's zoom lens provides a great flexibility compared to Fujifilm X100S's 35mm fixed focal length lens. On the other hand, X100S's prime lens makes it a specialized camera. You compromise the flexibility of a zoom in order to enjoy the high image quality and unique rendering of this fast lens. On the tele end, Canon SX620 HS has 590mm longer reach than the Fujifilm X100S. However, with a max aperture of f2.00, Fujifilm X100S is faster at tele end.
