Fujifilm X-H2S vs Panasonic GH5S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and GH5S.
Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-H2S due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-H2S will give extra detail due to its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S should have an advantage in sensor technology.
