FujiFilm AV250 vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The image here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the AV250 and fp L.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The AV250 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp L will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 45MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged AV250 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
