Canon SX160 IS vs Fujifilm Z1000EXR Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The image underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX160 IS and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.
Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical megapixels albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The SX160 IS contains the tinier sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher. The newer SX160 IS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
