Fujifilm XP30 vs Nikon S9300 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm XP30 and S9300.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon S9300 to give greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm XP30 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
