Fujifilm X-T1 IR vs Leica SL2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through specs. The pic below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T1 IR and SL2.
All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T1 IR due to its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Leica SL2 will provide greater detail having its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T1 IR will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
