Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon 1 S2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes simply by checking out specifications. The picture below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and 1 S2.
Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 using its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will provide greater detail with its extra 11.8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
