Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic GF7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes just by reading specifications. The picture below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and GF7.
Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer you more detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
