FujiFilm S4000 vs Fujifilm S2 Pro Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by researching technical specs. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S4000 and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S4000 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the FujiFilm S4000 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher S4000 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
