Canon 20Da vs Fujifilm SL1000 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 20Da and Fujifilm SL1000.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 20Da due to its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm SL1000 will produce extra detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 20Da will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
