Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic S5 II Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and S5 II.
As you can see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will deliver greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively.
