Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Nikon Z30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by checking out technical specs. The picture here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm GFX 100S and Z30.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm GFX 100S using its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will produce extra detail with its extra 81 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm GFX 100S will be behind in sensor tech.
