Fujifilm S4500 vs Leica Q-P Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The picture below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S4500 and Q-P.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S4500 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Leica Q-P will show more detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4500 will be behind in sensor technology.
