Fujifilm S1500 vs Fujifilm X-S1 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it can be hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The image here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S1500 and Fujifilm X-S1.
All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S1500 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-S1 will render more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1500 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
