FujiFilm S2950 vs Nikon P900 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through specs. The picture underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S2950 and P900.

All in all, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon P900 to resolve greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S2950 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
