FujiFilm HS10 vs Sony WX300 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking specifications. The graphic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the HS10 and WX300.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Sony WX300 to give more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
