As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Fujifilm FinePix F305EXR is also often compared to pro digicams, super zooms and compacts. The Fujifilm FinePix F305EXR's top rivals come from Fujifilm (such as the FinePix F500 EXR and the FinePix F550 EXR) and Samsung (such as the WB700 and the WB150F)

compared toTravel zoom competitors

Generally, some of the advantages of the Fujifilm F305EXR compared to other travel zoom competitors include: it takes slightly higher resolution photos (10.6 MP vs 9.8 MP), records movies in 24p, has a marginally larger sensor (1/2" 6.4x4.8mm vs 1/2.3" 6.2x4.6mm) and significantly higher boost light sensitivity (12,800 ISO vs none).

However, on average it doesn't have a built-in GPS, records lower quality movies (720p @ 24fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 220 fps), doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1.5 fps vs 8 fps) and has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS).
