Fujifilm X-T30 II vs Panasonic GX1 Sensor Comparison
Typically, its tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The photograph below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T30 II and GX1.
As you can tell, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T30 II having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-T30 II will deliver more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T30 II provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
