Usually, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing specs. The graphic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and GF8.
All in all, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will show extra detail utilizing its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher X-S20 should have an edge in sensor tech.
