Fujifilm S4500 vs Nikon P950 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing just by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S4500 and P950.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon P950 to provide you with more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S4500 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
