Fujifilm FinePix S100fs Competitors

As well as being compared against other pro digicams and super zooms, the Fujifilm FinePix S100fs is also often compared to pro DSLRs and entry-level DSLRs. The Fujifilm FinePix S100fs's top rivals come from Fujifilm (such as the FinePix S200EXR and the FinePix HS20) and Canon (such as the Rebel T3 and the Rebel T2i)
