Fujifilm SL1000 vs Sony RX10 IV Sensor Comparison

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm SL1000 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX10 IV will render greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm SL1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
