Canon M5 vs FujiFilm S3200 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements just by checking technical specs. The visual here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M5 and S3200.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M5 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Canon M5 will resolve more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more recent M5 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
