Fujifilm X-E3 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its tough to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E3 and X-S20.
To sum up, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Fujifilm X-S20 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E3 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
