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

Fujifilm FinePix S1 has a 3.0" Fully Articulated screen with 920k dot resolution and Samsung WB210 has a 3.50" Fixed screen with 1k dot resolution. Fully articulated screen makes Fujifilm FinePix S1 selfie and vlogger friendly and generally very useful for video shooting. Samsung WB210 also features touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality (available only on Samsung WB210) allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.

Electronic Viewfinder on Fujifilm FinePix S1

Fujifilm FinePix S1 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 920k dot resolution. It has a 97% coverage. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Samsung WB210.

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 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 12,800. Samsung WB210 features a 14 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 80 - 1,600 and expands to 80 - 3,200 in boosted mode.

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.

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.
