Canon R6 vs Fujifilm GFX 50S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading through specs. The photograph below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
As you can plainly see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R6 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will resolve more detail having its extra 31MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The fresher R6 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
