Fujifilm X-T4 vs Olympus E-M5 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes merely by researching technical specs. The pic underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T4 and E-M5 II.
As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T4 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-T4 will render more detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-T4 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
