Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7R III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by checking out a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and A7R III.
As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R III will produce extra detail due to its extra 16MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent X-S20 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
