Canon R5 vs Fujifilm GFX 50S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by going over specs. The photograph underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R5 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
All in all, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R5 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will offer you greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher R5 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
