Fujifilm X-T30 II vs Nikon Z30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through specifications. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T30 II and Z30.
Plainly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Fujifilm X-T30 II to render extra detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T30 II will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
