Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon Z6 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The pic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and Z6 II.
Plainly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 having a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give greater detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
