Fujifilm Z30 vs Nikon P7800 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes simply by looking at a spec sheet. The picture underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z30 and P7800.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm Z30 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon P7800 will give extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z30 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
