Fujifilm X-T3 vs Nikon Z8 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The visual underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T3 and Z8.
Plainly, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T3 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Nikon Z8 will offer you extra detail because of its extra 20MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T3 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
