FujiFilm S4000 vs Fujifilm S1 Pro Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The picture here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S4000 and Fujifilm S1 Pro.

To sum up, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S4000 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the FujiFilm S4000 will provide greater detail having an extra 11MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger S4000 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
