Often, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specifications. The image underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and G9.
Plainly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2S with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-H2S will deliver greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
