      Screen

      Screen

      Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR and Fujifilm FinePix XP130 have 3.0" Fixed screens with 460k dot and 920k dot resolutions respectively.

      Sensor

      Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR features a 12.0 megapixel 1/2-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.4 x 4.8 mm and a total area of 30.7 mm2. Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200 and expands to 100 - 12,800 in boosted mode. Fujifilm FinePix XP130 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 - 3,200 and expands to 100 - 6,400 in boosted mode.

      Fujifilm FinePix XP130 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.
