FujiFilm HS20 EXR vs Fujifilm S8600 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through specs. The image here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the HS20 EXR and Fujifilm S8600.
All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The HS20 EXR provides the bigger sensor which should make obtaining shallow DOF easier. The more aged HS20 EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
