Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-M1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Usually, its difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over specs. The pic underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and E-M1.
All in all, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
