FujiFilm S2500HD vs Sony RX10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by going over specs. The pic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S2500HD and RX10.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S2500HD because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony RX10 will offer you extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged S2500HD is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
