Fujifilm X-H2S vs Leica SL2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The visual here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-H2S and SL2.
As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H2S due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Leica SL2 will offer extra detail utilizing its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
