Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Sony A7 IV Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by going over technical specs. The photograph below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm GFX 100S and A7 IV.
As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm GFX 100S featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm GFX 100S will offer you greater detail having its extra 69 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm GFX 100S is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
