Fujifilm X-S20 vs Samsung NX5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing just by seeing technical specs. The graphic here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and NX5.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to produce more detail because of its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher X-S20 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
