FujiFilm S200EXR vs Pentax XG-1 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S200EXR and XG-1.
Clearly, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S200EXR featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Pentax XG-1 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
