Fujifilm X-S20 has a
26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and features X-Processor 5 processor. On the other hand, Nikon Z50 II has a
21.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Expeed 7 processor.
Fujifilm X-S20's sensor provides 5MP more than Nikon Z50 II's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Nikon Z50 II and Fujifilm X-S20 sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. 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 X-S20 and Z50 II sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm X-S20 and Nikon Z50 II Cameras
Fujifilm X-S20 and Nikon Z50 II have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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
Fujifilm X-S20
or the
Nikon Z50 II ,
including hyperfocal distance.
