Canon A1200 vs Fujifilm Z1000EXR Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specs. The picture here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the A1200 and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A1200 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will show more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged A1200 will be behind in sensor tech.
