Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7R Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and A7R.
As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A7R will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
