FujiFilm Finepix Z90 vs Nikon A100 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The image below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Finepix Z90 and A100.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon A100 to produce more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged Finepix Z90 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
