Fujifilm S8100fd vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The visual here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S8100fd and DP2x.

As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S8100fd using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm S8100fd will result in extra detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S8100fd will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
