Canon R50 vs Fujifilm X-A1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The image underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and Fujifilm X-A1.
Plainly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon R50 to resolve greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more modern R50 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
