Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic G2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and G2.
All in all, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will resolve more detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
