FujiFilm S2500HD vs Fujifilm S5 Pro Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specs. The image here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S2500HD and Fujifilm S5 Pro.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S2500HD having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the FujiFilm S2500HD will resolve more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent S2500HD should have a benefit in sensor technology.
