Fujifilm S1500 vs Panasonic FZ2500 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes just by looking through specs. The image underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S1500 and FZ2500.
All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S1500 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Panasonic FZ2500 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1500 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
