Fujifilm X-H2S vs Olympus PEN-F Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by checking technical specs. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and PEN-F.
As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-H2S will give you more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-H2S should have an edge in sensor tech.
