Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes just by looking through specifications. The image underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and A7 II.
Plainly, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Fujifilm X-S20 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer X-S20 should have an edge in sensor technology.
