Fujifilm X-H2S vs Olympus E-M5 II Sensor Comparison
Normally, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The picture here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H2S and E-M5 II.
Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2S featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-H2S will offer extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-H2S provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
