Sony A7S II has a
12.0MP Full frame (35.6 x 23.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz X processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm S8100fd has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the A7S II and S8100fd sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A7S II and Fujifilm S8100fd Cameras
As seen above, Sony A7S II has a 30.2x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm S8100fd. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in 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
Sony A7S II
or the
Fujifilm S8100fd ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Full frame versus 1/2.3-inch),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
