Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon 1 V2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over specs. The visual underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and 1 V2.
All in all, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Fujifilm X-S20 will deliver greater detail with its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger X-S20 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
