Fujifilm X-S20 vs Samsung NX100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and NX100.
Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to show more detail because of its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
