Fujifilm A100 vs Sony A7S Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm A100 and A7S.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm A100 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony A7S will give you extra detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
