Fujifilm X-E4 vs Leica M9-P Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The picture underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E4 and M9-P.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-E4 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-E4 will result in more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-E4 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
