FujiFilm S1600 vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1600 and Z7.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S1600 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z7 will deliver greater detail having its extra 34MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older S1600 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
