Canon M5 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing specs. The photograph here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M5 and X-S20.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-S20 to provide more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The older M5 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
