Fujifilm A100 vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm A100 and SL2-S.
As you can see, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm A100 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Leica SL2-S will offer you extra detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
