Canon 5D MII vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D MII and X-S20.
As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 5D MII featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-S20 will deliver more detail utilizing its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 5D MII is going to be behind in sensor technology.
