Fujifilm X-S10 vs Nikon Z9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions merely by seeing technical specs. The picture below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-S10 and Z9.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-S10 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon Z9 will provide extra detail using its extra 20 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-S10 will be behind in sensor technology.
