Sensor23.5 × 15.7 mm APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR; 40.2 MP; X-Processor 5 Fujifilm35 mm full-frame (35.6 × 23.8 mm) Exmor R CMOS; about 12.1MP for stills, 10.1MP for video

A low-resolution full-frame sensor gathers more light per pixel, at the cost of limited room for cropping stills.

Sony

The lens cannot be changed.

Fujifilm		—
ND filterBuilt-in 4-stop ND filter

The ND filter cuts light so a wide aperture or slow shutter can be used in bright conditions.

Fujifilm		—
Image stabilisationIn-body 5-axis; up to 6.0 stops

6 stops is the manufacturer’s figure under standard conditions; real results depend on hand shake and shutter speed.

Shutter and burstMechanical up to 1/4000 s, electronic up to 1/180,000 s; about 20 fps with electronic shutter (1.29× crop), 6 fps with mechanical shutter FujifilmElectronic shutter only; 1/8000 to 30 s; about 10 fps in Hi+

There is no mechanical shutter; the line-by-line readout of the electronic shutter can skew fast-moving subjects.

Sony
AutofocusIntelligent Hybrid AF; subject detection for animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, airplanes and trains FujifilmFast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 627 for video; EV −6 to 20

Subject recognition covers humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aircraft.

Sony
ViewfinderHybrid viewfinder: optical 0.52×, about 95% coverage; electronic 0.5-inch OLED, 3.69 million dots, 0.66×

Because the optical finder looks through a separate window rather than the lens, framing can shift at close range; the electronic finder shows the exact image.
