Fujifilm X100F vs Zeiss ZX1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing specs. The image underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X100F and ZX1.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X100F having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Zeiss ZX1 will result in extra detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
