FujiFilm S2800HD vs Nikon P950 Sensor Comparison

Often, its hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The picture here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S2800HD and P950.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Nikon P950 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
