Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony NEX-5T Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over specifications. The graphic below will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the X-S20 and NEX-5T.
To sum up, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm X-S20 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
