Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic GH1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and GH1.
Plainly, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will resolve greater detail having its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger X-S20 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
