Fujifilm S1500 vs Nikon P1000 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The visual here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S1500 and P1000.

To sum up, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon P1000 to give more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1500 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
