Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it's hard to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading a spec sheet. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm GFX 50S and X-S20.
Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm GFX 50S using its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will offer greater detail having an extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm GFX 50S is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
