Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon P950 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out technical specs. The photograph here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and P950.

As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will show more detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
