Canon 20D vs Fujifilm HS50 EXR Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below might offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20D and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 20D with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will offer more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older 20D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
