Fujifilm X-A5 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The visual underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-A5 and X-S20.
Plainly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-S20 to deliver more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-A5 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
