Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Panasonic GH2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing only by reading a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm GFX 50S and GH2.
Clearly, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm GFX 50S having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will offer greater detail using its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm GFX 50S should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
