Fujifilm S9400W vs Sony RX10 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The graphic below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S9400W and RX10 II.
As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S9400W because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX10 II will render more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S9400W will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
