Fujifilm X-H2S vs Panasonic S5 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by checking technical specs. The picture below should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-H2S and S5 II.
As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-H2S due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-H2S will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-H2S is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
