Fujifilm X-T5 vs Olympus E-M1 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The image here might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-T5 and E-M1 II.
As you can see, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T5 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Fujifilm X-T5 will show more detail because of its extra 20MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-T5 provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
