Fujifilm SL300 vs Nikon P530 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The image here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm SL300 and P530.

To sum up, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Nikon P530 to give greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL300 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
