Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic S1R Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions simply by researching technical specs. The pic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and S1R.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic S1R will result in more detail due to its extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 provides an edge in sensor technology.
