Fujifilm X-H2S vs Sony A7 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H2S and A7 II.
As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H2S using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-H2S will result in extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
