Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-M1X Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it is hard to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over specs. The graphic below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and E-M1X.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer X-S20 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
