Fujifilm S2 Pro vs Nikon D4s Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by seeing technical specs. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S2 Pro and D4s.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S2 Pro with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Nikon D4s will provide more detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2 Pro will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
