FujiFilm S2800HD vs Fujifilm HS50 EXR Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The pic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S2800HD and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

As you have seen, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S2800HD due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will provide you with more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
