FujiFilm S3200 vs Olympus 1s Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S3200 and 1s.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S3200 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the FujiFilm S3200 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be behind in sensor technology.
