Fujifilm X-E3 vs Sony NEX-5T Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through specifications. The image here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E3 and NEX-5T.

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-E3 to give you greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-E3 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
