Generally, some of the advantages of the Fujifilm S100fs compared to other super zoom competitors include: it is slightly less noisy at high ISO (177 ISO vs 132 ISO), has a screen which flips out, has a much larger sensor (1/1.7" 8.8x6.6mm vs 1/2" 6.4x4.8mm) and slightly higher boost light sensitivity (10,000 ISO vs 6,400 ISO).
However, on average it has much less zoom (14.3x vs 30x), records lower quality movies (480p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 30fps), has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 25 mm), has a much smaller screen (2.5" vs 3.0") and has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 460k dots).
