Often, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The picture below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and Z fc.
Plainly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-S20 to show more detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The fresher X-S20 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
