Fujifilm F550 EXR vs Sony RX1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm F550 EXR and RX1.
As you can tell, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F550 EXR featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sony RX1 will show more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F550 EXR will be behind in sensor technology.
