Fujifilm X-S20 vs Panasonic GX850 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The pic below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and GX850.
Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer X-S20 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
