FujiFilm HS10 vs Nikon P510 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The image below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and P510.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon P510 to deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
