Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Nikon Z8 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm GFX 100S and Z8.
Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm GFX 100S with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will give greater detail using its extra 56MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm GFX 100S is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
