Fujifilm X70 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The pic below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X70 and ZV-1.
As you have seen, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X70 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Sony ZV-1 will give extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X70 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
