FujiFilm HS10 vs Nikon S9100 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at technical specs. The image here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and S9100.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon S9100 to resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
