Fujifilm X-H2S vs Leica CL Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and CL.
Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-H2S to render greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
