Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon Z6 Overview

In this article, we will be evaluating the Fujifilm X-S20 versus Nikon Z6, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies FujiFilm and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the X-S20 (26MP) and the Z6 (25MP) is relatively comparable but the X-S20 (APS-C) and Z6 (Full frame) use different sensor measurements.

The X-S20 was brought out 4 years later than the Z6 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the X-S20 scores vs the Z6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon Z6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specs. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and Z6.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will produce more detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer X-S20 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
