Fujifilm X-S20 vs YI M1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X-S20 and M1.
Clearly, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X-S20 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S20 will offer more detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The newer X-S20 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
