Fujifilm X-H2S vs Panasonic GH5 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The pic below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-H2S and GH5 II.
As you can tell, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2S using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-H2S will offer you extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
