      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Fujifilm X10 has a 2.80" screen with 460k dot resolution and Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G has a 4.80" screen with 0k dot resolution. Both have Fixed screens. Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G also features touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment


      Optical (tunnel) Viewfinder on Fujifilm X10

      Fujifilm X10 has a built-in Optical (tunnel) viewfinder. It has a 85% coverage. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G.

      Sensor

      Fujifilm X10 features a 12 megapixel 2/3-inch EXR-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 8.8 x 6.6 mm and a total area of 58.1 mm2. Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200 and expands to 100 - 12,800 in boosted mode. Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G features a 16 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.

      Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G 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.

      Photography Features

      Fujifilm X10 is equipped with EXR processor and can take pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution. Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G is equipped with 1.4GHz Quad-Core processor and can take pictures up to [] resolution.
