Fujifilm X100F vs Nikon Z6 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X100F and Z6.

Clearly, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X100F with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon Z6 will give you more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100F is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
