On this page, we are looking at the Nikon Df versus Nikon Z fc, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and they are both produced by Nikon.

Typically, it can be tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The photograph below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Df and Z fc.

To sum up, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Df due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z fc will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older Df is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
