Fujifilm X-S20 vs Samsung NX30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through specs. The photograph below should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and NX30.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm X-S20 to resolve more detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The younger X-S20 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
