FujiFilm S2800HD vs Fujifilm F900EXR Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the S2800HD and Fujifilm F900EXR.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S2800HD featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm F900EXR will provide greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
