FujiFilm F80EXR vs Panasonic S2 Sensor Comparison
Typically, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the F80EXR and S2.
Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The F80EXR because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic S2 will resolve more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older F80EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
