Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon D850 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by viewing technical specs. The visual below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and D850.
As you can tell, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon D850 will render extra detail due to its extra 20 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
