Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and A7S II.
All in all, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X-S20 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Fujifilm X-S20 will provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 will have an edge in sensor technology.
