FujiFilm S4000 vs Nikon B600 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The pic below might give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S4000 and B600.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon B600 to show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged S4000 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
