Canon 40D vs FujiFilm HS20 EXR Sensor Comparison

To sum up, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 40D because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the FujiFilm HS20 EXR will give greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older 40D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
