Fujifilm GFX 100 vs Pentax Q-S1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm GFX 100 and Q-S1.
Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm GFX 100 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm GFX 100 will produce extra detail using its extra 90MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm GFX 100 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
