Fujifilm X-Half, Canon V1, Sony ZV-1 Mark II, and ZV-E10

By admin, on July 26th, 2025

So if you are looking for the best compact camera under the $1000 price range, then we have done a detailed comparison between the recently announced Fujifilm X-Half camera compared with the Canon V1 and the Sony ZV-1 Mark II. We have also included a mirrorless camera that falls under the same price range, with an additional lens to give you a clear understanding of what the difference will be if you opt for a mirrorless camera in the same price range instead of a compact. So you have all the test results in front of you — we will be analysing it as fairly as possible, but you are also free to comment on what you feel is related to the test.

Image Quality Comparison

Fuji X-Half test Image

As we can see from the first image analysis, captured at ISO 200, among the compacts, the ZV-1 Mark II camera, with its one-inch sensor, is performing very well. After that, we also have the PowerShot V1 camera, which is able to capture details in a proper manner. In the third position, we have the Fuji X-Half camera. Although at the top we do have the ZV-E10, since it has the largest sensor in the group and also falls in the same price range or even lower, that’s why we have included it to notice the real difference between them, despite the form factors they are in.

Image comparison test

Keep an eye on pencil sketches, the pencil lines are very clearly visible in ZV-E10 image, after that we have the Sony ZV-1 Mk II, and then in the Canon V1 and the Fuji X-Half.

Image Quality TEST at ISO 12800

If we have to rank them accordingly, then of course the top camera is the Sony ZV-E10, after that we have the Sony ZV-1 Mark II, in third we have the Canon V10, and in the fourth position we have the Fuji X-Half.

Best Camera Ranking

Rank	Camera Name	Sensor Type	Form Factor	Performance at ISO 200
1	Sony ZV-E10	APS-C (largest)	Mirrorless	Best performance overall
2	Sony ZV-1 Mark II	1-inch sensor	Compact	Very good performance
3	Canon PowerShot V10	1-inch sensor	Compact	Proper detail capture
4	Fujifilm X-Half	Unspecified (small)	Compact	Least impressive among the group

Let’s find out which lens is being used by whom, in the comparison table below, let’s clear up the things.

Lens Comparison Table

Camera	Lens Focal Length (Equivalent)	Maximum Aperture	Optical Zoom	Notes
Fujifilm X-Half	33mm (Prime)	f/2.8-16	None	Fixed focal length, JPEG-only
Canon PowerShot V1	16-50mm (Zoom)	f/2.8-4.5	3.1x	Wide-angle zoom, video-focused
Sony ZV-1 Mark II	18-50mm (Zoom)	f/1.8-4.0	2.7x	Bright, wide-end, compact design
Sony ZV-E10	Optional / Used 55mm F1.8 Lens during test	F1.8	None / Optional	APS-C, interchangeable lenses

From the table, it’s very clear that Fuji has spent less effort in selecting the lens for the X-Half Sensor, despite having a PRIME lens, the aperture value starts from F2.8, which shows how terrible the lens is being used. Sony, having a 2.7X Zoom lens, the aperture range is a lot better despite having a larger number of lens elements, which clearly shows the quality of the zoom lens, and in Canon again, yes, they are using a zoom lens, but the aperture starts from F2.8, showing use of a slower zoom lens.
