Fujifilm X-T1 IR vs Nikon Z5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its tough to see the difference in sensor sizing just by researching specs. The visual underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T1 IR and Z5.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T1 IR with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon Z5 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T1 IR will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
