Fujifilm Real 3D W3 vs Sony HX9V Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by looking at technical specs. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and HX9V.

As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony HX9V to give you more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W3 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
