Fujifilm Real 3D W3 vs Pentax 645Z Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and 645Z.

Clearly, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm Real 3D W3 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Pentax 645Z will offer you greater detail having its extra 41MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
