Canon R8 vs Fujifilm GFX 100S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading through specs. The graphic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R8 and Fujifilm GFX 100S.
All in all, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R8 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 78MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent R8 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
