Fujifilm Z30 vs Nikon P7700 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be hard to see the gap in sensor sizing merely by researching technical specs. The visual below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Z30 and P7700.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm Z30 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon P7700 will render extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
