Canon G15 vs Fujifilm X20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specs. The image here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the G15 and Fujifilm X20.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras provide the same MP albeit different sensor dimensions. The G15 offers the smaller sensor which is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging. The more aged G15 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
