FujiFilm S1800 vs Fujifilm HS35EXR Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1800 and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S1800 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will give more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S1800 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
