Fujifilm A100 vs Nikon S8000 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out technical specs. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm A100 and S8000.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon S8000 to provide more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
