Fujifilm X-T2 vs Nikon Z9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T2 and Z9.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T2 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon Z9 will give more detail using its extra 22 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
