FujiFilm S3200 vs Nikon S9300 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S3200 and S9300.

As you can see, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Nikon S9300 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older S3200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
