Generally, some of the advantages of the Fujifilm F305EXR compared to compact competitors include: it has much more zoom (15x vs 5x), has a significantly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm), has a slightly higher resolution screen (460k dots vs 230k dots), records movies in 24p and slightly higher boost light sensitivity (12,800 ISO vs 3,200 ISO).
However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 24fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), is significantly larger (compact 103x59x32 mm vs super compact 95x53x23 mm), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), has a significantly smaller sensor (1/2" 6.4x4.8mm vs 1/1.7" 7.8x5.8mm) and lacks a built in HDR feature.
