Fujifilm X-S20 vs Olympus E-P5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specs. The image underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and E-P5.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give you greater detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The younger X-S20 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
