Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching specifications. The visual below will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and S1.
To sum up, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-S20 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
