Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon 1 S1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it can be difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The visual below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and 1 S1.
Plainly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The fresher X-S20 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
