Canon R50 vs Fujifilm S8500 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and Fujifilm S8500.
As you can see, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R50 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R50 will resolve more detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern R50 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
