Fujifilm X-A5 vs Olympus E-P7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing specs. The picture below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-A5 and E-P7.
All in all, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-A5 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-A5 will show greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A5 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
