Usually, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S5 Pro and 645Z.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S5 Pro because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Pentax 645Z will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 45MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S5 Pro is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
