FujiFilm S2800HD vs Sony A57 Sensor Comparison
Typically, its hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The pic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2800HD and A57.
To sum up, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S2800HD because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A57 will offer you greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
