Canon A1100 IS vs Fujifilm JX500 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The visual underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A1100 IS and Fujifilm JX500.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm JX500 to give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A1100 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
