Fujifilm X-H2S vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-H2S and A7S II.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-H2S having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Fujifilm X-H2S will offer more detail using its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-H2S provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
