Fujifilm X-H2S vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by going through specifications. The visual here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H2S and SL2-S.

To sum up, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H2S having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X-H2S will show extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-H2S provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
