FujiFilm S2950 vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by researching specs. The visual underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S2950 and 1.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S2950 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the FujiFilm S2950 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older S2950 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
