Canon M50 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The photograph here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M50 and X-S20.
As you have seen, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You can expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to give extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older M50 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
