Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specifications. The image here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-A7 and GM5.
Plainly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-A7 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-A7 will offer you extra detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-A7 should have an edge in sensor technology.
