Fujifilm F500 EXR vs Nikon L830 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing just by going through specs. The visual below may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm F500 EXR and L830.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras come with the identical megapixels but not the same sensor sizing. The Fujifilm F500 EXR offers the larger sensor which should make getting shallower DOF less difficult. The older Fujifilm F500 EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
