Fujifilm X-A3 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing specifications. The image below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-A3 and X-S20.
Plainly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Fujifilm X-S20 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
