Canon 50D vs Fujifilm SL1000 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through specifications. The pic underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 50D and Fujifilm SL1000.

Plainly, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 50D because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm SL1000 will give you greater detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged 50D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
