FujiFilm Z700EXR vs Sony WX9 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over specifications. The picture below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Z700EXR and WX9.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Z700EXR using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony WX9 will offer extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Z700EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
