Fujifilm X-H2S vs Nikon Z6 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and Z6 II.
As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2S because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-H2S will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-H2S provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
