Fujifilm X-T1 vs Nikon Z6 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T1 and Z6 II.
Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon Z6 II will offer you greater detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T1 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
