Fujifilm Real 3D W3 vs Fujifilm S2 Pro Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking specs. The photograph below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and Fujifilm S2 Pro.
All in all, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm Real 3D W3 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 will give you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm Real 3D W3 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
