FujiFilm S2950 vs Nikon P610 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The photograph here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S2950 and P610.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon P610 to give extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older S2950 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
