Reasons to choose sensor 830s
Released in 2009, sensor 830s has about 25 mm² of sensor area, 8 MP effective resolution, and a 120 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.


The sensor 830s and FE-230 have the same sensor area. Compare pixel density, sensor architecture, and release generation to understand likely image-quality differences.
These cameras were released 2 years apart. Consider sensor generation when comparing pixel metrics.
Amber marks the value that is generally preferable in this comparison context. It is not an overall camera score.
The sensor 830s and FE-230 have the same sensor area. The FE-230 has the lighter body. The sensor 830s has the higher effective resolution. The sensor 830s is the newer release. Also consider the lens system and subjects you shoot.
Released in 2009, sensor 830s has about 25 mm² of sensor area, 8 MP effective resolution, and a 120 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.
Released in 2007, FE-230 has about 25 mm² of sensor area, 7.1 MP effective resolution, and a 105 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.
