Fujifilm X100S vs Sony RX1R II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes only by researching specs. The pic below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X100S and RX1R II.
All in all, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X100S having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX1R II will render extra detail using its extra 26 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100S will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
