Fujifilm F500 EXR vs Sony NEX-5T Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm F500 EXR and NEX-5T.
Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact megapixel count but not the same sensor sizes. The Fujifilm F500 EXR uses the smaller sensor which should make getting bokeh tougher. The more aged Fujifilm F500 EXR will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
