Canon 77D has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 7 processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm S1500 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Canon 77D's sensor provides 14MP more than Fujifilm S1500's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the 77D and S1500 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 77D and Fujifilm S1500 Cameras
As seen above, Canon 77D has a 11.8x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm S1500. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 77D
or the
Fujifilm S1500 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(APS-C versus 1/2.3-inch),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
