Fujifilm X100S vs Sony ZV-1 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X100S and ZV-1 II.
Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X100S because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony ZV-1 II will show greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X100S will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
