Fujifilm S4800 vs Sony RX10 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking technical specs. The picture here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S4800 and RX10.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S4800 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX10 will give more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4800 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
