Fujifilm X-T4 vs Sony A7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading specs. The picture underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T4 and A7.
All in all, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T4 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Fujifilm X-T4 will offer more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T4 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
