We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Canon EOS 5DS R has a 3.2" Fixed screen with 1,040k dot resolution and Fujifilm FinePix S1 has a 3.0" Fully Articulated screen with 920k dot resolution. Fully articulated screen makes Fujifilm FinePix S1 selfie and vlogger friendly and generally very useful for video shooting.

Viewfinder

Canon EOS 5DS R has a built-in Optical (pentaprism) viewfinderFujifilm FinePix S1 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 920k dot resolution. Canon EOS 5DS R has 100% coverage with 0.71x magnification and Fujifilm FinePix S1 has 97% coverage magnification.

Canon EOS 5DS R features a 50.6 megapixel Full Frame CMOS sensor with dimensions of 36 x 24 mm and a total area of 864 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 6,400 and expands to 100 - 12,800 in boosted mode. Fujifilm FinePix S1 features a 16.4 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 12,800.

Fujifilm FinePix S1 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Canon EOS 5DS R is equipped with Dual DIGIC 6 processor and can take pictures up to 8688 x 5792 resolution. Fujifilm FinePix S1 can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4608 x 3072, 4608 x 2592, 3456 x 3456, 3264 x 2448, 3264 x 2176, 3264 x 1840, 2432 x 2432, 2304 x 1728, 2304 x 1536, 1920 x 1080, 1728 x 1728 with 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.

No Low-Pass Filter on Canon EOS 5DS R

There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on Canon EOS 5DS R. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.

Fujifilm FinePix S1 has an image stabilization.

Built-in Wi-Fi on Fujifilm FinePix S1

Fujifilm FinePix S1 has a built-in Wi-Fi which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.
