Canon A480 vs FujiFilm Z800EXR Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the A480 and Z800EXR.

As you can tell, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A480 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm Z800EXR will show extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged A480 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
