Fujifilm SL300 vs Fujifilm X-S1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Normally, it is tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading specs. The graphic here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm SL300 and Fujifilm X-S1.
All in all, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm SL300 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm SL300 will offer you more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively.
