Generally, some of the advantages of the Fujifilm Z1000EXR compared to waterproof competitors include: it has a significantly larger screen (3.5" vs 3.3") and has a faster max shutter speed (1/2000 of a second vs 1/1600 of a second).
However, on average it has a slightly narrower aperture (f/3.9 vs f/3.5), has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 26 mm), has a significantly lower resolution screen (460k dots vs 1,229k dots), is slightly larger (super compact (102×60×18 mm) vs ultra compact (96×59×15 mm)) and has worse image stabilization (sensor shift vs lens).
