Fujifilm X-E4 vs Leica Q Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E4 and Q.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E4 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-E4 will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-E4 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
