Generally, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor sizing just by looking at specifications. The visual underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 500 HS and Fujifilm XP80.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can expect to see the Fujifilm XP80 to resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The older ELPH 500 HS is going to be behind in sensor technology.
