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.
