Fujifilm S9400W vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing specifications. The image here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S9400W and Z7.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S9400W featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon Z7 will produce more detail due to its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S9400W will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
