Fujifilm X-S20 vs Pentax Q-S1 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions only by going over technical specs. The picture underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and Q-S1.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer greater detail having an extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The younger X-S20 will have an edge in sensor tech.
