Canon M5 vs Fujifilm GFX 100S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching specs. The visual underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M5 and Fujifilm GFX 100S.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M5 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will result in more detail having its extra 78 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The older M5 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
