Fujifilm T500 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Nikon S570 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 T500 and S570 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm T500 and Nikon S570 Cameras
Fujifilm T500 and Nikon S570 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 S570 has 32% larger pixel area (2.34µm 2 vs 1.77µm 2 ) compared to Fujifilm T500, 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 T500
or the
Nikon S570 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
