Fujifilm X-H2 vs Sony A7R II Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H2 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7R II will render greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
