Fujifilm Z35 vs Nikon S8000 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Z35 and S8000.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon S8000 to offer greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z35 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
