Fujifilm A100 vs Fujifilm JX550 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A100 and Fujifilm JX550.

As you have seen, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Fujifilm JX550 to offer extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
