FujiFilm Z700EXR vs Nikon L31 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z700EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon L31 will provide you with more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged Z700EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
