Fujifilm X-H1 vs Nikon Z9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The visual below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H1 and Z9.
To sum up, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H1 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Nikon Z9 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 22 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-H1 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
