Fujifilm S8400W vs Sony RX10 III Sensor Comparison
Often, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S8400W and RX10 III.
Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S8400W featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX10 III will deliver more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S8400W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
