Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by going through specifications. The picture below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and A7.
Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Fujifilm X-S20 will produce more detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The younger X-S20 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
