Fujifilm S9900w vs Canon 1D MII N: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm S9900w and Canon 1D MII N side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S9900w has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries). Canon 1D MII N has external dimensions of 156 x 158 x 80 mm (6.14 x 6.22 x 3.15″) and weighs 1565 g (3.45 lb / 55.20 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm S9900w and Canon 1D MII N. Fujifilm S9900w is 33mm narrower and 71mm shorter than Canon 1D MII N but it is also 36mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S9900w has a built-in lens but Canon 1D MII N doesn't. Once you put a lens on 1D MII N, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm S9900w is significantly lighter (895g ) than the Canon 1D MII N which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 1D MII N, the total kit will weigh much higher.

Weather Sealing

Thanks to the weather sealed body of 1D MII N, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to S9900w.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm S9900w's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon 1D MII N's 2.5 screen.

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


Fujifilm S9900w vs Canon 1D MII N: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm S9900w has a 16.0MP (1/2. ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon 1D MII N has a 8.0MP APS-H (28.7 x 19.1 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .

Fujifilm S9900w's sensor provides 8MP more than Canon 1D MII N's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
