Typically, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the A1200 and Fujifilm XP50.
Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Fujifilm XP50 to provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged A1200 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
