FujiFilm AV200 vs Pentax VS20 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The pic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the AV200 and VS20.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Pentax VS20 to provide greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged AV200 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
