Fujifilm SL240 vs Sony NEX-F3

Lets look more in depth at the Fujifilm SL240 vs Sony NEX-F3, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers FujiFilm and Sony. The image resolution of the Fujifilm SL240 (14MP) and the NEX-F3 (16MP) is relatively close but the Fujifilm SL240 (1/2.3") and NEX-F3 (APS-C) offer totally different sensor sizes.

Quite often, its hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The photograph below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm SL240 and NEX-F3.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm SL240 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony NEX-F3 will render greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm SL240 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
