Fujifilm X-H1 vs Sony ZV-E1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H1 and ZV-E1.
Clearly, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H1 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X-H1 will show more detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-H1 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
