Canon A2300 vs Fujifilm XF1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2300 and Fujifilm XF1.

Clearly, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A2300 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting bokeh more difficult and the Canon A2300 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older A2300 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
