Fujifilm X-T1 vs Nikon Z8 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The image here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T1 and Z8.
As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T1 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z8 will show more detail with its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T1 will be behind in sensor tech.
