Canon A3400 IS vs Fujifilm X20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A3400 IS and Fujifilm X20.
Clearly, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A3400 IS due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon A3400 IS will offer more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged A3400 IS is going to be behind in sensor technology.
