Fujifilm A150 vs Fujifilm S1 Pro Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A150 and Fujifilm S1 Pro.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm A150 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Fujifilm A150 will show extra detail because of its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm A150 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
