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

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing technical specs. The pic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and E-M1 III.
As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
