Fujifilm F900EXR vs Panasonic FZ100 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Often, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm F900EXR and FZ100.
Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm F900EXR featuring a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Fujifilm F900EXR will produce more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm F900EXR is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
