FujiFilm S2800HD vs YI M1 Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S2800HD with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the YI M1 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
