FujiFilm S2950 vs Sony RX100 VA Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The image underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2950 and RX100 VA.
As you have seen, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S2950 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 VA will provide extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged S2950 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
