Fujifilm X-A1 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading specifications. The picture below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-A1 and X-S20.
Plainly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to deliver extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
