Canon 6D vs Fujifilm S2 Pro Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing specifications. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 6D will show more detail with its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern 6D provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
