Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic GM5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The image below should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and GM5.
As you can tell, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will provide you with more detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer X-S20 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
