Fujifilm XP30 vs Nikon L28 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over technical specs. The pic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm XP30 and L28.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon L28 to offer more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm XP30 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
