Canon R vs Fujifilm GFX 50S Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing specifications. The photograph below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R and Fujifilm GFX 50S.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will show greater detail with its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern R should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
