Fujifilm S4200 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Nikon S4300 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the S4200 and S4300 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm S4200 and Nikon S4300 Cameras
Fujifilm S4200 and Nikon S4300 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 S4200 has 15% larger pixel area compared to Nikon S4300, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence 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 S4200
or the
Nikon S4300 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
