Fujifilm X-T20 vs Sony A7R II Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The image below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T20 and A7R II.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T20 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R II will give more detail as a result of its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T20 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
