Fujifilm GFX 50R vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through technical specs. The picture below will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm GFX 50R and SL2-S.
As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm GFX 50R using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm GFX 50R will provide more detail using its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm GFX 50R will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
