FujiFilm S3200 vs Sony RX100 V Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The image below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S3200 and RX100 V.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S3200 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX100 V will provide you with extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
