Fujifilm X-E2S vs Leica M10 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2S because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Leica M10 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2S is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
