Fujifilm A100 vs Fujifilm F500 EXR Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A100 and Fujifilm F500 EXR.

As you can see, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm A100 with its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh tougher and the Fujifilm F500 EXR will result in greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
