Fujifilm A150 vs Fujifilm X30 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over technical specs. The image underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm A150 and Fujifilm X30.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm A150 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X30 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A150 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
