Fujifilm X-M1 vs Fujifilm X-S20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing only by going through specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-M1 and X-S20.
To sum up, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-S20 to show greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-M1 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
