Fujifilm X-S20 vs Nikon Z7 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it can be tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements merely by going over specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and Z7 II.
To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will offer you more detail due to its extra 20 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The newer X-S20 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
