Fujifilm X-A2 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by going over specifications. The photograph here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-A2 and X-S20.
Plainly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-S20 to deliver greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-A2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
