FujiFilm S4000 vs Sony HX200V Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading specs. The pic here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S4000 and HX200V.

All in all, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony HX200V to offer extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged S4000 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
