FujiFilm S3200 vs Fujifilm F900EXR Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at specs. The visual below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S3200 and Fujifilm F900EXR.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S3200 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Fujifilm F900EXR will resolve greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older S3200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
