Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A3000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by looking at specifications. The visual here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and A3000.
Plainly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Fujifilm X-S20 to resolve more detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
