Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing technical specs. The pic below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and Z7.
As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Nikon Z7 will provide greater detail using its extra 20 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher X-S20 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
