Fujifilm X-T4 vs Sony A7R Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is hard to see the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing specs. The graphic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T4 and A7R.
All in all, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T4 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A7R will show more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T4 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
