Following is a in depth assessment of the FujiFilm HS10 vs Fujifilm S8400W, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras and both are sold by FujiFilm. There exists a sizeable gap between the image resolutions of the HS10 (10MP) and Fujifilm S8400W (16MP) but they use the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The HS10 was introduced 3 years earlier than the Fujifilm S8400W which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting in to a complete comparison, below is a short overview of how the HS10 matches up vs the Fujifilm S8400W in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and Fujifilm S8400W.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Fujifilm S8400W to give greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
