Canon V1 has a
22.0MP Type 1.4 (18.4 x 12.3 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC X processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X100V has a
26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor Pro 4 processor.
One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X100V's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the V1 and X100V sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon V1 and Fujifilm X100V Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm X100V has a 1.6x Larger sensor area than Canon V1. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon V1
or the
Fujifilm X100V ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Type 1.4 versus APS-C),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
