Canon M5 vs Fujifilm X-T4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing specifications. The image underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M5 and Fujifilm X-T4.
To sum up, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Fujifilm X-T4 to offer more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged M5 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
