Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic G1 Overview

Its time to look more closely at the Fujifilm X-S20 and Panasonic G1, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands FujiFilm and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the X-S20 (26MP) and G1 (12MP) and the X-S20 (APS-C) and G1 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The X-S20 was revealed 14 years later than the G1 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a detailed comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the X-S20 grades against the G1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic G1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at specs. The graphic underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and G1.
All in all, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 with its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give you more detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
