Fujifilm XF1 vs Sony W620 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The photograph here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm XF1 and W620.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XF1 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sony W620 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm XF1 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
