Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-M10 III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and E-M10 III.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will resolve extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 will have an edge in sensor technology.
