Fujifilm X-E1 vs Fujifilm X-E4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking specs. The pic below will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujifilm X-E4.
All in all, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Fujifilm X-E4 to resolve more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-E1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
