Fujifilm X-T100 vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through technical specs. The graphic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T100 and SL2-S.
As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact resolution but not the same sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T100 offers the tinier sensor which will make achieving bokeh tougher. The older Fujifilm X-T100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
