Canon R8 vs Fujifilm GFX 50S Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over specs. The pic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R8 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R8 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will offer extra detail due to its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R8 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
