Canon R50 vs Fujifilm X-E4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and Fujifilm X-E4.
Clearly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-E4 to give more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The fresher R50 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
