Fujifilm HS30EXR vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm HS30EXR and WX350.
Plainly, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm HS30EXR featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony WX350 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm HS30EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
