Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic G3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The photograph here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and G3.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give you extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger X-S20 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
