Fujifilm S8400W vs Sony HX400V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The pic below will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S8400W and HX400V.
Plainly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Sony HX400V to show greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S8400W will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
