Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon 1 J1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing specs. The image underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and 1 J1.
All in all, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer you greater detail using its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
