Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-P1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The image here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and E-P1.
As you have seen, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give you extra detail having its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer X-S20 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
