Fujifilm X-H2 vs Leica Q Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2 and Q.

As you can see, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H2 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-H2 will offer you extra detail using its extra 16MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
