Fujifilm X-T3 vs Panasonic G7 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes merely by viewing technical specs. The pic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T3 and G7.

As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T3 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-T3 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T3 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
