Fujifilm S1 vs Panasonic FZ1000 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing specs. The pic below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S1 and FZ1000.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S1 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic FZ1000 will offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively.
