Canon A495 vs Fujifilm X30 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by going through technical specs. The visual below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the A495 and Fujifilm X30.
As you have seen, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A495 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X30 will show more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older A495 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
