Fujifilm Z30 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon N has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor.
Below you can see the Z30 and N sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm Z30 and Canon N Cameras
Fujifilm Z30 and Canon N 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 Canon N has 11% larger pixel area (3.12µm 2 vs 2.81µm 2 ) compared to Fujifilm Z30, 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 Z30
or the
Canon N ,
including hyperfocal distance.
