Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Olympus E-M5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through specifications. The image here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm GFX 100S and E-M5.
Plainly, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm GFX 100S using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will render more detail using its extra 86MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm GFX 100S will have an advantage in sensor tech.
