Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-M1 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The graphic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and E-M1 II.
As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-S20 will produce extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
