FujiFilm S2950 vs Sony RX10 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The image underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S2950 and RX10.
Clearly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S2950 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sony RX10 will show more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged S2950 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
