Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon 1 J2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specs. The graphic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and 1 J2.
All in all, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer more detail utilizing its extra 16MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
