FujiFilm S1600 vs Nikon L810 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by going over technical specs. The picture underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1600 and L810.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon L810 to offer extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged S1600 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
