Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Panasonic S5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm GFX 50S and S5.
Plainly, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm GFX 50S having a larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will offer extra detail with its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm GFX 50S is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
