Canon R vs Fujifilm X-S20 Physical Comparison

          

          

            
When you are intending to carry around your camera often, you'll need to take into account its weight and size. The Canon R comes with outer measurements of 136mm x 98mm x 84mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.3") along with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Fujifilm X-S20 has specifications of 127mm x 85mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.3" x 2.6") with a weight of 491 grams (1.08 lbs).

Canon R vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specs. The picture below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R and X-S20.
As you can plainly see, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R will provide more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged R will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
