Canon 50D vs Fujifilm S9900w Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 50D and Fujifilm S9900w.

Clearly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 50D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm S9900w will result in extra detail due to its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 50D will be behind in sensor innovation.
