FujiFilm S1800 vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1800 and Df.

As you can tell, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S1800 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon Df will offer more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older S1800 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
