Fujifilm X-S1 vs Olympus SZ-11 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements just by looking through specs. The graphic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-S1 and SZ-11.
All in all, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-S1 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus SZ-11 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively.
