FujiFilm S1600 vs Sigma SD10 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S1600 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the FujiFilm S1600 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent S1600 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
