Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-P3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at specs. The picture underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and E-P3.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger X-S20 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
