Fujifilm X-S20 vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and NX3000.
Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
