Canon A3100 IS vs Fujifilm XP70 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
More often than not, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through a spec sheet. The image below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the A3100 IS and Fujifilm XP70.
Clearly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Fujifilm XP70 to provide more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged A3100 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
