Fujifilm S2 Pro has a
6.0MP APS-C (23 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon 500D has a
15.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4 processor.
Canon 500D's sensor provides 9MP more than Fujifilm S2 Pro'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 S2 Pro and 500D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm S2 Pro and Canon 500D Cameras
Fujifilm S2 Pro and Canon 500D have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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
Fujifilm S2 Pro
or the
Canon 500D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
