Fujifilm X-T1 IR vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T1 IR and S1.
Clearly, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T1 IR with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Panasonic S1 will result in more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T1 IR will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
