Fujifilm HS30EXR vs Samsung HZ35W Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm HS30EXR and HZ35W.
Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm HS30EXR due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm HS30EXR will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm HS30EXR should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
