Fujifilm Z1000EXR vs Olympus SH-2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at specs. The image here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm Z1000EXR and SH-2.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have the same megapixel count but different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm Z1000EXR features the larger sensor which should make getting shallower DOF less difficult. The more aged Fujifilm Z1000EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
