FujiFilm F70EXR vs Sigma SD9 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing simply by checking out specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the F70EXR and SD9.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The F70EXR because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the FujiFilm F70EXR will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher F70EXR is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
