Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic G7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by checking specs. The graphic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and G7.
All in all, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
