      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Fujifilm FinePix S9200 and Nikon Coolpix S8200 have 3.0" Fixed screens with 460k dot and 961k dot resolutions respectively.


      Electronic Viewfinder on Fujifilm FinePix S9200

      Fujifilm FinePix S9200 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 201k dot resolution. It has a 97% coverage. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Nikon Coolpix S8200.

      Sensor

      Fujifilm FinePix S9200 features a 16.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm2. Its native ISO range is 100 - 12,800. Nikon Coolpix S8200 features a 16.1 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm2. Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200.

      Nikon Coolpix S8200 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.
