Fujifilm X-T30 II vs Panasonic GF2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading through a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T30 II and GF2.
Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T30 II featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-T30 II will give more detail utilizing its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T30 II should have an edge in sensor innovation.
