Fujifilm X-E4 vs Panasonic LZ30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very hard to see the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E4 and LZ30.
Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E4 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-E4 will produce extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-E4 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
