Fujifilm X-E4 vs Pentax Q Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by reviewing specs. The photograph below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E4 and Q.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E4 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-E4 will deliver greater detail having an extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-E4 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
