Canon A2100 IS vs FujiFilm AV250 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the A2100 IS and AV250.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the FujiFilm AV250 to provide greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older A2100 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
