Nikon S4000 vs Pentax Efina Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The graphic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S4000 and Efina.

Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Pentax Efina to give you more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older S4000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
