Fujifilm S4200 vs Fujifilm S8400W Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading specifications. The pic below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S4200 and Fujifilm S8400W.
To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm S8400W to offer more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4200 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
