Canon M50 II vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing just by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 II and X-S20.
As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-S20 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older M50 II is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
