Fujifilm X-A3 vs Panasonic GM1 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-A3 using its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Fujifilm X-A3 will offer extra detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-A3 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
