Canon R8 vs Fujifilm X-H2S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by viewing specs. The image underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R8 and Fujifilm X-H2S.
All in all, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R8 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-H2S will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent R8 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
