Fujifilm X-M1 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-M1 and FX3.
Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-M1 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm X-M1 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-M1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
