The S4000 was introduced 18 months before the S9300 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the FujiFilm S4000 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon S9300 being a Compact camera.

Before diving right into a complete comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the S4000 matches up vs the S9300 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S4000 and S9300.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon S9300 to resolve more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older S4000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
