FujiFilm S4000 vs Nikon P950 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The pic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S4000 and P950.

As you can tell, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Nikon P950 to provide greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged S4000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
