Fujifilm Z300 vs Sony W560 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z300 and W560.

Plainly, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony W560 to give you greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z300 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
