Fujifilm X10 vs Pentax RZ10 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
More often than not, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The pic below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X10 and RZ10.
As you have seen, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X10 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Pentax RZ10 will provide more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X10 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
