Fujifilm S9400W vs Sony HX10V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S9400W and HX10V.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should expect the Sony HX10V to provide extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm S9400W provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
