Fujifilm X-E2S vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The pic here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2S and X-S20.
As you can tell, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-S20 to offer you more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-E2S is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
