Fujifilm S9200 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Nikon S1000pj has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Expeed processor.
Below you can see the S9200 and S1000pj sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm S9200 and Nikon S1000pj Cameras
Fujifilm S9200 and Nikon S1000pj 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 S1000pj has 32% larger pixel area (2.34µm 2 vs 1.76µm 2 ) compared to Fujifilm S9200, 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 S9200
or the
Nikon S1000pj ,
including hyperfocal distance.
