FujiFilm Z70 vs Nikon S02 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by going over specs. The visual here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Z70 and S02.
All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z70 using its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon S02 will offer extra detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older Z70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
