Canon 40D vs Fujifilm X-A3 Sensor Comparison

Often, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 40D and Fujifilm X-A3.

Clearly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-A3 to offer you more detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 40D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
