FujiFilm Z70 vs Samsung ST93 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z70 and ST93.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Samsung ST93 to give greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged Z70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
