Screen

Fujifilm XQ2 and Samsung WB750 have 3.0" Fixed screens with 920k dot and 460k dot resolutions respectively.

Fujifilm XQ2 features a 12 megapixel 2/3-inch 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 - 12,800. Samsung WB750 features a 12.5 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 WB750 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 XQ2 is equipped with EXR Processor II processor and can take pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution.
