FujiFilm AV200 vs Nikon S3600 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the AV200 and S3600.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon S3600 to offer you extra detail utilizing its extra 6MP.
