Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7R II Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The pic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the X-S20 and A7R II.
As you can tell, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A7R II will offer you more detail due to its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
