Canon 550D vs Fujifilm F600 EXR Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 550D and Fujifilm F600 EXR.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 550D with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon 550D will give more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 550D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
