Canon M10 vs Fujifilm X-A3 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to see the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and Fujifilm X-A3.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Fujifilm X-A3 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged M10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
