FujiFilm S2500HD vs Sigma SD10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out specifications. The visual here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S2500HD and SD10.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S2500HD due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the FujiFilm S2500HD will provide extra detail due to its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger S2500HD should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
