Fujifilm X-H2S vs Panasonic GX9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H2S and GX9.
As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-H2S will provide extra detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
