Canon G16 vs Fujifilm S3 Pro Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G16 and Fujifilm S3 Pro.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G16 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Canon G16 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher G16 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
