FujiFilm HS10 vs Sony HX9V Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing specifications. The picture here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the HS10 and HX9V.

Plainly, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony HX9V to offer more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
