Fujifilm X-T2 vs Nikon Z7 II Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T2 and Z7 II.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T2 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z7 II will deliver more detail using its extra 22 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T2 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
