FujiFilm S2800HD vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through technical specs. The pic here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S2800HD and 1.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S2800HD featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm S2800HD will give greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
