Fujifilm S1500 vs Sigma SD10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S1500 and SD10.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S1500 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm S1500 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S1500 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
