More often than not, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A3100 IS and Fujifilm T400.

As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Fujifilm T400 to result in extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels.
