FujiFilm S2800HD has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm S8400W has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the S2800HD and S8400W sensor size comparison.
FujiFilm S2800HD and Fujifilm S8400W 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 FujiFilm S2800HD has 15% larger pixel area compared to Fujifilm S8400W, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
