Fujifilm X-T4 vs Panasonic S1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T4 and S1.
Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T4 having a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Fujifilm X-T4 will provide greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T4 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
