      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Canon PowerShot G16 has a 3.0" screen with 922k dot resolution and Fujifilm FinePix JV100 has a 2.70" screen with 230k dot resolution. Both have Fixed screens.


      Optical (tunnel) Viewfinder on Canon PowerShot G16

      Canon PowerShot G16 has a built-in Optical (tunnel) viewfinder. It has a 80% coverage. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Fujifilm FinePix JV100.

      Sensor

      Canon PowerShot G16 features a 12.1 megapixel 1/1.7-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 7.44 x 5.58 mm and a total area of 41.5 mm2. Its native ISO range is 80 - 12,800. Fujifilm FinePix JV100 features a 12.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm2. Its native ISO range is 100 - 1,600 and expands to 100 - 3,200 in boosted mode.

      Canon PowerShot G16 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.
