Canon A1200 vs Fujifilm JZ100 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is hard to see the gap in sensor sizes merely by viewing specifications. The image below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A1200 and Fujifilm JZ100.
Plainly, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Fujifilm JZ100 to provide you with more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged A1200 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
