Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic GM1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through specs. The picture below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and GM1.
All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will provide you with greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
