Fujifilm Real 3D W1 vs Sony HX50V Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 and HX50V.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony HX50V to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
