Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony NEX-3N Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by going through technical specs. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and NEX-3N.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-S20 to produce more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer X-S20 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
