Canon M5 vs Fujifilm X-H2S Overview

On this page, we will be reviewing the Canon M5 vs Fujifilm X-H2S, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. The image resolution of the M5 (24MP) and the Fujifilm X-H2S (26MP) is pretty well matched and both cameras have the same sensor size (APS-C).

Samsung Releases Faster Versions of EVO MicroSD Cards

The M5 was released 6 years before the Fujifilm X-H2S and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick summary of how the M5 grades versus the Fujifilm X-H2S with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Canon M5 vs Fujifilm X-H2S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking specifications. The graphic below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M5 and Fujifilm X-H2S.
To sum up, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Fujifilm X-H2S to give you more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older M5 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
