FujiFilm S2950 vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing only by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S2950 and Q7.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S2950 using its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more challenging and the FujiFilm S2950 will render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older S2950 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
