Canon S90 vs Fujifilm T500 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The photograph below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S90 and Fujifilm T500.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S90 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm T500 will give extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older S90 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
