FujiFilm T300 vs Nikon S9900 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T300 and S9900.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon S9900 to give you extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged T300 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
