Fujifilm S2000HD vs Sony NEX-5R Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S2000HD and NEX-5R.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S2000HD with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony NEX-5R will result in greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
