Fujifilm X-S20 vs Pentax Q10 Overview

On this page, we will be evaluating the Fujifilm X-S20 and Pentax Q10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Pentax. There is a sizeable difference between the image resolutions of the X-S20 (26MP) and Q10 (12MP) and the X-S20 (APS-C) and Q10 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor measurements.

Japan-exclusive Leica Leitz Phone 3 features big sensor and new modes

The X-S20 was brought out 10 years later than the Q10 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Fujifilm X-S20 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Pentax Q10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a short summation of how the X-S20 matches up vs the Q10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Fujifilm X-S20 vs Pentax Q10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing only by checking technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and Q10.
As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will give more detail having its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The newer X-S20 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
