FujiFilm AV200 vs Sony W690 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the AV200 and W690.

As you can see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Sony W690 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged AV200 will be behind in sensor tech.
