Canon EOS C400 has a
19.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized BSI Stacked CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm JV150 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Canon EOS C400's sensor provides 5MP more than Fujifilm JV150'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 C400 and JV150 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon EOS C400 and Fujifilm JV150 Cameras
As seen above, Canon EOS C400 has a 30.8x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm JV150. 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 EOS C400
or the
Fujifilm JV150 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Full frame 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.
