Fujifilm X-E4 vs Nikon 1 J4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through specs. The pic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E4 and 1 J4.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E4 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-E4 will resolve extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E4 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
