FujiFilm F70EXR vs Samsung HZ25W Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the F70EXR and HZ25W.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The F70EXR featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung HZ25W will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older F70EXR is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
