Fujifilm S8200 vs Sony RX10 III Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S8200 and RX10 III.

Plainly, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S8200 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX10 III will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S8200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
