More often than not, it is hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading specs. The graphic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and NX300.
All in all, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Fujifilm X-S20 to offer you more detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
