Fujifilm X-H2S vs Panasonic GH2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by seeing technical specs. The pic underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H2S and GH2.
As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H2S using its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Fujifilm X-H2S will produce more detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S should have an advantage in sensor technology.
