Fujifilm X-S20 vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by reading technical specs. The image here should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and Q7.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer you more detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger X-S20 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
