Fujifilm S4800 vs Sony RX10 III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions just by reviewing specifications. The pic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S4800 and RX10 III.
Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S4800 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX10 III will offer extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4800 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
