Canon R50 vs Fujifilm X-E1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R50 and Fujifilm X-E1.
Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon R50 to give you more detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern R50 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
