Canon R5 vs Fujifilm GFX 50S II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The image below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 and Fujifilm GFX 50S II.
As you can see, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R5 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 50S II will offer you greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged R5 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
