Fujifilm X-S20 vs Leica SL2-S Physical Comparison

		

		

			
If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you will want to take into account its weight and volume. The Fujifilm X-S20 features outside dimensions of 127mm x 85mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.3" x 2.6") having a weight of 491 grams (1.08 lbs) while the Leica SL2-S has sizing of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") accompanied by a weight of 931 grams (2.05 lbs).

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and SL2-S.
As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger X-S20 should have an edge in sensor tech.
