FujiFilm AX350 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Nikon S80 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Expeed C2 processor.
Below you can see the AX350 and S80 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of FujiFilm AX350 and Nikon S80 Cameras
FujiFilm AX350 and Nikon S80 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Nikon S80 has 13% larger pixel area (2.01µm 2 vs 1.77µm 2 ) compared to FujiFilm AX350, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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
FujiFilm AX350
or the
Nikon S80 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
