Fujifilm Z35 vs Fujifilm X20 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The picture here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z35 and Fujifilm X20.

As you can see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm Z35 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm X20 will produce more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z35 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
