Fujifilm X100T vs Zeiss ZX1 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X100T and ZX1.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100T due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Zeiss ZX1 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100T will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
