Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Panasonic S1H Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over specifications. The visual here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm GFX 100S and S1H.
To sum up, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm GFX 100S due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will offer extra detail due to its extra 78MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm GFX 100S should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
