Fujifilm Z300 vs Nikon S3700 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing technical specs. The image here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Z300 and S3700.
As you can tell, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S3700 to offer you extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z300 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
