Canon M5 vs Fujifilm X-T30 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing just by checking a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M5 and Fujifilm X-T30 II.
Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-T30 II to give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older M5 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
