Design

Type

DSLR

Mirrorless

The type of camera.
viewfinder

Optical viewfinder (OVF)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Fujifilm X-A1)

The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
is weather-sealed (splashproof)
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution

1040k dots

920k dots

A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
has a built-in focus motor
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
viewfinder coverage

95%

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Fujifilm X-A1)

With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
weight

530 g

330 g

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Optics

sensor size

APS-C

APS-C

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

Canon EF-S

Fujifilm X

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

6400 ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Fujifilm X-A1)

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

12800 ISO

25600 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

video recording (main camera)

1080 x 30 fps

1080 x 30 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS 550D)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Fujifilm X-A1)

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Battery

Battery life (CIPA)

440 shots

350 shots

CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
has a removable battery
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
has a rechargeable battery
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
has a battery level indicator
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
battery power

1120 mAh

1100 mAh

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.

Features

supports Wi-Fi
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Has Bluetooth
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
Has dual card slots
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
has pixel shift shot
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
shoots raw
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
supports lossless compressed raw
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.
Wi-Fi version

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS 550D)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Fujifilm X-A1)

The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
supports a remote smartphone
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
has an HDMI output
Canon EOS 550D
Fujifilm X-A1
You can output high definition video and audio to a display. This could be an HDMI port, Mini HDMI port, or a USB-C port that supports HDMI.

Miscellaneous

pixel density

501 ppi

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
included SD card (memory size)

0MB

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

Some manufacturers include a memory card in the box. An SD card with a higher storage capacity allows you to extend the storage space on your device with ease, providing you with more space for your data.
