Canon M vs Fujifilm X-S20 Overview

Lets take a more detailed look at the Canon M versus Fujifilm X-S20, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a substantial gap between the sensor resolutions of the M (18MP) and X-S20 (26MP) but they come with the exact same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The M was unveiled 11 years prior to the X-S20 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm X-S20 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the M grades versus the X-S20 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Canon M vs Fujifilm X-S20 Physical Comparison

		

		

			
When you are looking to travel with your camera often, you will want to factor its weight and volume. The Canon M has got exterior measurements of 109mm x 66mm x 32mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.3") having a weight of 298 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Fujifilm X-S20 has sizing of 127mm x 85mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.3" x 2.6") having a weight of 491 grams (1.08 lbs).

Canon M vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M and X-S20.
As you can see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-S20 to give you extra detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
