Fujifilm X-H2S vs Nikon Z5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing just by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H2S and Z5.
As you can see, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H2S because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-H2S will resolve greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
