Fujifilm X-T30 II vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T30 II and A7S II.
Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T30 II having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm X-T30 II will produce more detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-T30 II should have an advantage in sensor tech.
