Canon SX50 HS vs Fujifilm X-H2S Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it's hard to see the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at specifications. The image below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX50 HS and Fujifilm X-H2S.
To sum up, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX50 HS with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-H2S will give you more detail having an extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX50 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
