FujiFilm AV200 vs Nikon S9700 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to see the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the AV200 and S9700.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon S9700 to show extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged AV200 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
