Fujifilm X-T30 vs Leica SL2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T30 and SL2.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T30 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Leica SL2 will provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T30 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
