Fujifilm T550 vs Nikon P500 Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You can expect the Fujifilm T550 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm T550 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
