Fujifilm A170 vs Nikon P340 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm A170 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon P340 will result in more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A170 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
