Canon 80D vs Fujifilm X-T30 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm X-T30 to deliver more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 80D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
