Canon A1100 IS vs Fujifilm Z1000EXR Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The pic below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A1100 IS and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A1100 IS featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will offer you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged A1100 IS is going to be behind in sensor tech.
