Fujifilm X-H2S vs Panasonic S5 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, its hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and S5.
As you can see, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2S because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-H2S will produce more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
