FujiFilm S1800 vs Samsung ST90 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S1800 and ST90.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung ST90 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged S1800 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
