Fujifilm X-T30 vs Sony A7R II Sensor Comparison
Typically, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by viewing specs. The visual here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T30 and A7R II.
All in all, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T30 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sony A7R II will result in greater detail having an extra 16MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T30 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
