FujiFilm S2800HD vs Nikon S9500 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specs. The picture below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S2800HD and S9500.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon S9500 to produce more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
