FujiFilm F300EXR vs Nikon S6300 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon S6300 will result in greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older F300EXR will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
