To sum up, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm F660EXR featuring a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon P520 will give more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F660EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
