Fujifilm X-H1 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it's difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specs. The photograph below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H1 and S1.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras offer the same exact MP but not the same sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H1 includes the tinier sensor which will make obtaining shallow depth of field tougher. The older Fujifilm X-H1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
