FujiFilm S2500HD vs Sony HX100V Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S2500HD and HX100V.
Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Sony HX100V to deliver more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older S2500HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
