FujiFilm S1600 vs Nikon D4 Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S1600 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Nikon D4 will resolve extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged S1600 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
