FujiFilm Z70 vs Nikon S4100 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over specs. The picture below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z70 and S4100.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon S4100 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged Z70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
