Fujifilm X-H2S vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through specifications. The graphic below should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-H2S and Z7.
Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Nikon Z7 will give more detail as a result of its extra 20MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-H2S provides a benefit in sensor technology.
