FujiFilm S3200 vs Nikon S8200 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at specs. The pic underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S3200 and S8200.
All in all, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon S8200 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged S3200 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
