Canon M3 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specs. The pic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M3 and X-S20.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to produce more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged M3 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
