FujiFilm Z700EXR vs Nikon 1 S1 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The image below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z700EXR and 1 S1.

As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Z700EXR featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the FujiFilm Z700EXR will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged Z700EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
