FujiFilm S1600 vs Nikon P600 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing technical specs. The photograph here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S1600 and P600.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon P600 to show greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older S1600 will be behind in sensor innovation.
