FujiFilm S1600 vs Sony H300 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by checking a spec sheet. The pic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S1600 and H300.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony H300 to give you more detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged S1600 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
