In many cases, it can be tough to see the difference between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-H2S and A7 IV.
Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S because of its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Sony A7 IV will deliver greater detail due to its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-H2S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
