Fujifilm JX550 vs Fujifilm X20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm JX550 and Fujifilm X20.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm JX550 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm JX550 will provide more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm JX550 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
