Fujifilm J30 vs Nikon S6900 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon S6900 to give you extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm J30 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
