Fujifilm X-E1 vs Sony A7c Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E1 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A7c will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-E1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
