Often, it's tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over specifications. The image underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and Z50.
To sum up, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-S20 to deliver extra detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
