Fujifilm X-S20 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specs. The image underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and FX3.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X-S20 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will render more detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern X-S20 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
