Fujifilm X-T5 vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The photograph underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T5 and A7S III.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T5 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X-T5 will render extra detail because of its extra 28MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-T5 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
