Fujifilm X-A5 vs Leica TL Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-A5 and TL.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-A5 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-A5 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
