Fujifilm X-H2S vs Sony A9 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing specifications. The picture below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-H2S and A9 II.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-H2S with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Fujifilm X-H2S will offer you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-H2S should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
