FujiFilm F300EXR vs Fujifilm IS Pro Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements only by researching technical specs. The graphic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the F300EXR and Fujifilm IS Pro.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the FujiFilm F300EXR will render greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger F300EXR provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
