Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and A7S.
Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X-S20 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer you extra detail having an extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The younger X-S20 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
