FujiFilm S4000 vs Olympus 1s Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S4000 and 1s.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S4000 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm S4000 will provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older S4000 will be behind in sensor innovation.
